SIBI-P1 H3288-01
in weariness
| Root | יעף (y-ʿ-p) |
| Core Meanings | weariness, faintness, exhaustion, depletion of strength |
| Semantic Range | weariness, exhaustion, faintness; by extension, rapid movement done in a state of strain or urgency |
| Conceptual Significance | The root highlights human limitation and physical depletion, a recurring biblical theme that underscores dependence on divine strength in contrast to human frailty. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common masculine singular absolute (Ncmsa) with prefixed preposition בִּ ("in"). Functions adverbially in context but retains nominal form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun יְעָף derives from the root י־ע־ף, meaning "to be weary or faint." As a masculine singular absolute noun with the prefixed preposition בִּ ("in"), the phrase literally means "in weariness," preserving both the singular form and the core idea of exhaustion rather than adopting the secondary adverbial sense "swiftly." |
