to seek out

Root	דרש (d-r-sh)
Core Meanings	tread, frequent, seek, pursue, inquire, investigate, consult, worship
Semantic Range	to seek, search for, inquire into, consult, require, investigate, care for, or worship (by seeking YHWH)
Conceptual Significance	דרשׁ often describes intentional pursuit—whether of God, truth, justice, or guidance. In theological contexts it conveys covenantal devotion: to “seek out” YHWH implies active, relational pursuit rather than passive belief.
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.
