SIBI-P1 H5307-04
let me fall down
| Root | נפל (n-p-l) |
| Core Meanings | falling, descending, collapse, prostration, defeat |
| Semantic Range | to fall physically, to collapse, to be overthrown, to fall in battle, to die, to fall prostrate, to fall by lot, to fall away or fail |
| Conceptual Significance | נפל often conveys more than physical سقوط; it can mark defeat, death, humility, or submission before YHWH. Volitional uses (as here) may express surrender to divine judgment or willingness to entrust oneself to God’s hand. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem (simple active), cohortative, first common singular. The cohortative ending expresses volition or entreaty by the speaker (“let me…” or “may I…”). |
| Rendering Rationale | The root נפל fundamentally denotes falling or descending. In the Qal stem it expresses simple, intransitive falling. The cohortative first person singular form conveys the speaker’s volitional desire or plea, hence "let me fall down," preserving both the core idea of falling and the 1cs cohortative nuance. |
