Core Meaningsthirst, dryness, craving, longing
Semantic Rangeto experience physical thirst; to suffer dryness; to long intensely for water; figuratively, to crave, yearn, or desire deeply (for God, righteousness, relief, etc.)
Conceptual SignificanceThirst in the Hebrew Bible often symbolizes both physical dependence and spiritual longing. It expresses human vulnerability and need, and metaphorically portrays the soul’s yearning for God, justice, or restoration.
Morphological NotesQal imperfect (yiqtol), 2nd person masculine plural from the root צמא; expresses incomplete or future action: "you (mp) will thirst."
Rendering RationaleThe verb is Qal imperfect, second person masculine plural, indicating a simple active action directed to a group of males or a mixed group: "you (plural) will thirst." The rendering preserves the concrete root sense of physical thirst, which also carries figurative implications of deep longing.
