SIBI-P1 H8605-05
their interceding-plea
| Root | פלל (p-l-l) |
| Core Meanings | to judge, intervene, intercede, mediate, arbitrate |
| Semantic Range | prayer, intercession, supplication, plea for mercy, petition directed to God, at times a liturgical composition or hymn |
| Conceptual Significance | תְּפִלָּה expresses covenantal mediation—humans stepping into dialogue with YHWH as judge and king. It reflects both dependence and boldness: approaching the divine court with a plea for intervention, mercy, or justice on behalf of oneself or others. |
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular noun in construct form (תְּפִלַּת) with 3rd masculine plural pronominal suffix (-ם), yielding "their"; appears six times in this form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun תְּפִלָּה derives from the root פלל, which conveys the idea of intervening or mediating, often in a judicial or intercessory sense. Rendering it as "interceding-plea" preserves this root sense of active intervention rather than a generic "prayer." The form is feminine singular construct with a 3rd masculine plural suffix, hence "their" with a singular noun: "their interceding-plea." |
