Genesis 9:9
וַ אֲנִי הִנְנִי מֵקִים אֶת בְּרִיתִי אִתְּכֶם וְ אֶת זַרְעֲכֶם אַחֲרֵיכֶם
`And myself, behold-me causing to stand-up338 אֶת-my cut-out-one with yourselves, and with your seed of your back,339
| 338 | The verb to arise, stand up is in the causative participle form (i.e. cause to stand up) which means it has no tense, hence a “causing to stand”. This same participle, מֵקִ֛ים meqim, is found in 8 places (1 Sam. 2:8, 2 Sam. 12:11, Isa. 44:26, Jer. 50:32, Amos 6:14, Hab. 1:6, and Zech. 11:6). Causing to stand-up from the dust the poor… 1 Sam. 2:8; There is not for him a standing-up… Jer. 50:32; Causing to stand-up a word of his slave… Isa. 44:26 |
