SIBI-P1 H8605-01
in the intercession
| Root | פלל (p-l-l) |
| Core Meanings | to judge, to arbitrate, to intercede, to mediate |
| Semantic Range | intercession, supplication, petition, prayer, plea for judgment or mercy, devotional expression (sometimes extended to a prayer-song) |
| Conceptual Significance | תְּפִלָּה expresses the act of approaching God as mediator and judge, seeking intervention, mercy, or righteous judgment. It reflects covenantal relationship, where appeal is made to YHWH as the ultimate arbiter and redeemer. |
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular noun (Ncfsa) with prefixed preposition בְּ and definite article (assimilated), yielding "in the." Absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun תְּפִלָּה derives from the root פלל, which carries the sense of intervening or mediating in judgment. Rendering it as "intercession" preserves this root connection rather than using the more generalized "prayer." The prefixed בַּ marks "in the" (preposition + definite article), and the noun is feminine singular absolute, reflected in the singular form "intercession." |
