To add, increase; to continue, do again; in Nifal: be added, join oneself to
One of Hebrew's most versatile verbs, yasaf serves double duty as both a quantitative term ('add more,' 'increase') and an auxiliary of repetition ('do again,' 'continue'). When God promises never again to flood the earth (Gen 8:21), yasaf carries the force of 'not repeat.' When Leviticus prescribes adding a fifth to a restitution payment (Lev 5:16), the same root means arithmetic increase. Cognate Aramaic awsif and Arabic zada confirm the additive core, while the auxiliary usage — unparalleled in many target languages — often requires paraphrase. The Nifal passive rounds out the paradigm with senses of being gathered or joined.
Senses
1. add, increase (Hifil) — The Hifil causative expresses adding quantity, increasing a measure, or augmenting — as in Leviticus's penalty formulas where one 'shall add a fifth' (Lev 5:16; 27:31). Spanish añadir/aumentar and French ajouter confirm the straightforward additive meaning. Arabic zada (increase) and aḍafa (add) both cover this core quantitative sense. 62×

2. continue, do again (Hifil) — As an auxiliary verb in the Hifil, yasaf means 'to continue' or 'to do again,' governing an infinitive or implied action. In Exodus 8:29 Pharaoh must 'not continue to deceive,' and Genesis 8:21 records God's resolve 'not again to curse the ground.' Korean da-si (again) and Swahili kuendelea (continue) show how languages must choose between repetition and continuation framings for this single Hebrew construction. 62×

3. and added, and continued (Hifil consecutive) — The waw-consecutive Hifil imperfect (wayyosef) narrates sequential addition or continuation in past tense: 'and she again bore' (Gen 4:2), 'and he waited yet another seven days' (Gen 8:10). This narrative form dominates in Genesis and the Former Prophets. Spanish Y-añadió and Y-continuó split what Hebrew unifies, revealing the dual semantic load this single conjugation carries. 46×

4. shall add, shall continue (Qal conjunctive perfect) — The Qal weqatal (conjunctive perfect) projects addition or continuation into the future or conditional realm: 'and I will add' or 'and they shall continue.' Leviticus 26:18 warns 'I will continue to punish you sevenfold,' while Leviticus 27:13-15 prescribes 'and he shall add a fifth.' The tense-aspect shift from narrative past to predictive future distinguishes this from sense 3. 13×

6. increased, added (Qal/Hifil perfect active) — Qal and Hifil perfect active forms denoting completed acts of quantitative increase: 'You have increased the nation' (Isa 26:15), 'they added sin upon sin' (1 Sam 12:19). Spanish aumentaste ('you increased') and the perfect aspect distinguish these from ongoing or future addition, focusing on the accomplished result. 9×

7. was added, be joined (Nifal) — The Nifal passive-reflexive: 'be added to,' 'be joined,' 'be increased.' In Exodus 1:10 Pharaoh fears the Israelites will 'be added to our enemies,' and Numbers 36:3-4 legislates inheritance that might 'be added to' another tribe. Arabic inḍamma ('join oneself') and the passive yuzadu ('be increased') map neatly onto this stem's dual passive and reflexive possibilities. 6×
