SIBI-P1 `H183-12`

you will crave for yourself

Root	אוה (ʾ-ʾ-w-h)
Core Meanings	desire, longing, craving, wish, appetite
Semantic Range	to desire, long for, crave, lust after, covet, yearn for intensely
Conceptual Significance	This root often describes powerful inner longing, whether for legitimate needs or illicit cravings. In biblical theology it can signal the orientation of the heart—either toward what is permitted and life-giving or toward covetous desire that leads to sin.
Morphological Notes	Verb, Hitpael stem (reflexive), imperfect tense, 2nd person masculine singular. The doubling in תִתְ־ marks the Hitpael prefix, indicating reflexive or internalized desire.
Rendering Rationale	The root אוה conveys deep desire or longing. The form תִתְאַוֶּה is a Hitpael imperfect 2nd masculine singular, expressing a reflexive or inward-directed action; thus "you will crave for yourself" preserves both the reflexive nuance of the stem and the masculine singular subject.
