Rootישב (y-š-b)
Core Meaningssitting, dwelling, remaining, abiding, settling
Semantic Rangeto sit down, remain, dwell, inhabit, abide, settle, stay, take up residence, be enthroned
Conceptual Significanceיָשַׁב often conveys more than physical sitting; it expresses settled presence and established residence, frequently tied to covenant life in the land. "Dwelling" can imply stability, belonging, and ongoing habitation within a divinely allotted place.
Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ + Qal infinitive construct of יָשַׁב (שִׁבְתְּ) + pronominal suffix 2nd person masculine plural (כֶם). Literally, "in/when your dwelling."
Rendering RationaleThe form is a Qal infinitive construct of יָשַׁב (“to sit, dwell, remain”) with a prefixed בְּ (“in/when”) and a 2nd person masculine plural suffix (“your”). "Dwelling" preserves the root idea of settled sitting or abiding, while "your" reflects the 2mp suffix, clarified as masculine plural ("you men").
