| Root | שאל (sh-ʾ-l) |
| Core Meanings | inquiring, asking, requesting, seeking information, petitioning |
| Semantic Range | to ask, inquire, question, request, petition, consult, demand, borrow, seek counsel |
| Conceptual Significance | שאל expresses human dependence and relational engagement—whether seeking guidance from God, requesting provision, or inquiring of others. It often marks moments of appeal, dependence, or covenantal interaction in Israel’s narrative. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem (simple active), perfect aspect, 2nd person masculine plural. The perfect denotes completed action in past or contextually completed aspect. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root שאל fundamentally means to ask or inquire, whether for information or for a request. The form is Qal perfect, second person masculine plural (HVqp2mp), indicating a completed action performed by a group of males, hence "you (masculine plural) inquired." |
