SIBI-P1 H2483-03

to sickness

Rootחלה (ḥ-l-h)
Core Meaningsto be weak, to be sick, to be afflicted, to be worn down
Semantic Rangephysical disease, bodily sickness, weakness, emotional distress, anxiety, calamity
Conceptual Significanceחֳלִי expresses the condition of human frailty and vulnerability—whether bodily or emotional—highlighting the reality of weakness that often frames divine healing, compassion, or judgment in the biblical narrative.
Morphological NotesPreposition ל with qamets (לָ) prefixed to a masculine singular absolute noun (Ncmsa). No pronominal suffix; singular in number.
Rendering RationaleThe form לָחֳלִי consists of the preposition ל ("to/for") attached to the masculine singular noun חֳלִי, derived from the root חלה ("to be weak, sick"). Rendering it as "to sickness" preserves both the directional force of the preposition and the singular masculine noun denoting a state of weakness or affliction.
