SIBI-P1 H8605-03
the intercession-plea
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common feminine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הַתְּ־). Occurs here in the singular, denoting a specific prayer or act of intercession. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun תְּפִלָּה derives from the root פלל, which conveys the idea of intervening or mediating in judgment. "Intercession-plea" preserves this sense of approaching as an intercessor, not merely offering words but seeking intervention. The definite article and feminine singular form are reflected in the rendering "the intercession-plea." |
