to seek out
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, infinitive construct with prefixed ל (HR/Vqc). The Qal conveys simple active action; the infinitive construct functions verbally as “to seek.” |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Qal infinitive construct with prefixed ל (“to”), expressing the simple active sense of the root דרשׁ. “To seek out” preserves the core idea of pursuing or diligently inquiring after something, reflecting the root’s sense of actively frequenting or investigating. |
