SIBI-P1 H3811-01
to cause to grow weary
| Root | לאה (l-ʾ-h) |
| Core Meanings | weariness, exhaustion, faintness, aversion from strain |
| Semantic Range | to tire, exhaust, fatigue; to weary emotionally or spiritually; to cause disgust or aversion through strain; to become faint (in other stems). |
| Conceptual Significance | The concept of weariness in Scripture often highlights human limitation, spiritual fatigue, or the burdening of others—sometimes even portraying Israel as "wearing" YHWH through persistent disobedience. The causative form underscores responsibility for imposing strain or exhaustion. |
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil infinitive construct of לָאָה (H3811); causative stem expressing the act of bringing about weariness or exhaustion. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root לאה conveys weariness or exhaustion. In the Hiphil stem, the verb takes a causative sense, meaning "to cause weariness" or "to make weary." As an infinitive construct, it is properly rendered in English with "to" plus the causative verbal idea, preserving both the root meaning and the stem’s force. |
