H3527 H3527
to make many, to multiply (Hiphil); to make great
This verb appears in Job 35:16 where Elihu accuses Job of multiplying words without knowledge. The Hiphil causative form emphasizes the deliberate proliferation of speech—not just talking, but making words abundant. Elihu's rhetoric is sharp: Job 'multiplies words without knowledge,' piling up arguments that sound impressive but lack true understanding. The verb connects to a root meaning 'great' or 'numerous' (cognate with Arabic kabir, 'great'). The image is of speech production untethered from wisdom, quantity without quality.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Job 35:16 uses this Hiphil verb to describe Job's prolific but supposedly empty speech. The causative stem means 'to cause to be many' or 'to make numerous,' here applied metaphorically to words. Spanish 'multiplica' and English 'he-multiplies' capture the sense clearly. The verb's only appearance comes in Elihu's speeches, which are characterized by this kind of sharp rhetorical critique. Some translations leave it untransliterated, suggesting textual challenges. 1×
