Source Word

How The Form Affects Interpretation
And gather you binds regathering to restoration and compassion, preventing the action from being reduced to movement or crowd formation. And gather you reflects the waw connection, the Lord's third-person action, and the attached covenant people as those regathered.
How To Communicate It
Read restore, have compassion, and gather as one promise sequence, then identify the Lord, the scattered people, and the nations from which they are brought.
What Not To Say
- Grammatical form should serve context, not override it.
- Do not detach gather you from restoration, compassion, covenant return, and prior scattering, or use the form as automatic approval of any present assembly.
- The conjunctive perfect receives future promise force from the larger sentence rather than functioning as an isolated past-tense form.
- The form does not make gathering morally positive in every context or let a modern institution claim this promise simply because it assembles people.

Conj-w | V-Piel-ConjPerf-3ms | 2ms at Deuteronomy 30:3 treated as the whole interpretation: Do not detach gather you from restoration, compassion, covenant return, and prior scattering, or use the form as automatic approval of any present assembly. the English rendering "and gather you" detached from its Hebrew form: Keep "and gather you" connected to וְקִבֶּצְךָ֙, row 8, and the full Deuteronomy 30:3 clause.
How The Interpretation Is Derived
The Deuteronomy 30:3 BSB+ word-table row 8 anchors וְקִבֶּצְךָ֙ as H6908, Conj-w | V-Piel-ConjPerf-3ms | 2ms, for the rendering "and gather you."
For h6908-deuteronomy-30-3-conj-w-v-piel-conjperf-3ms-2ms, קָבַץ is the lemma behind "and gather you" at row 8; this exact token keeps H6908 tied to Deuteronomy 30:3.
The waw-linked Piel conjunctive perfect coordinates gathering with the Lord's restoring and compassionate actions; the third-person subject is the Lord and the second-person suffix marks the scattered people gathered from the nations.
Deuteronomy 30:3 promises that the Lord will answer covenant return with restored fortunes, compassion, and regathering from the nations where he had scattered the people.
This gathering is restorative because the Lord's compassion, the prior scattering, and the covenant-return setting define it; H6908 can carry other purposes elsewhere.
Read restore, have compassion, and gather as one promise sequence, then identify the Lord, the scattered people, and the nations from which they are brought.
Do not detach gather you from restoration, compassion, covenant return, and prior scattering, or use the form as automatic approval of any present assembly.
