SIBI-P1 Translation H6965-13
to raise up
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative) stem, infinitive construct; no pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives the causative sense of the root קום, meaning "to cause to rise" or "to establish." As an infinitive construct, it expresses the verbal idea in its abstract form: "to raise up," preserving both the root concept of rising and the causative morphology. |
