SIBI-P1 H1156-02
he seeks
| Root | בעא (b-ʿ-ʾ) |
| Core Meanings | seeking, requesting, desiring, petitioning |
| Semantic Range | to seek, to ask, to request, to desire, to make petition, to pray |
| Conceptual Significance | Often used in Biblical Aramaic for making petitions before a king or seeking from God, this root reflects a posture of dependence and supplication, highlighting relational appeal to authority—whether divine or royal. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine singular; denotes incomplete, ongoing, habitual, or future action performed by a male subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Aramaic verb בעא conveys the act of seeking or making request. The form יִבְעֵה is an Aramaic Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular, so "he seeks" preserves both the core root meaning (seeking/requesting) and the masculine singular verbal form. |
