SIBI-P1 H1156-01

seeking-one

Rootבעא (b-ʿ-ʾ)
Core Meaningsseeking, asking, requesting, desiring, petitioning
Semantic Rangeto seek, ask, request, desire, petition, pray, inquire
Conceptual SignificanceThis root expresses active pursuit—whether of information, favor, or divine intervention. In biblical Aramaic contexts, it often conveys earnest petition or intentional seeking, highlighting dependence on authority (human or divine) and the posture of one who actively pursues a desired outcome.
Morphological NotesAramaic verb, Peal stem (simple active), active participle, masculine singular, absolute state.
Rendering RationaleThe form is an Aramaic Peal (Qal-equivalent) active participle, masculine singular absolute, from the root בעא "to seek/ask." Rendering it as "seeking-one" preserves the verbal, ongoing sense of the participle and clearly reflects its masculine singular form.
