Rootישב (y-š-b)
Core Meaningssitting, dwelling, remaining, settling, abiding
Semantic Rangeto sit down, remain, dwell in a place, inhabit, settle, abide, stay, continue, establish residence
Conceptual Significanceיָשַׁב often conveys covenantal stability—dwelling securely in the land, remaining under divine provision, or abiding in an appointed place. It expresses not merely physical sitting but settled existence, belonging, and enduring presence within a community or land granted by יהוה.
Morphological NotesQal imperfect, 2nd person masculine plural (HVqi2mp) from יָשַׁב. Denotes incomplete or future action: "you (mp) will dwell/sit/remain."
Rendering RationaleThe Qal imperfect 2nd masculine plural form expresses a future or ongoing action directed to a group of males: "you (mp) will dwell/sit/remain." The rendering preserves the core sense of יָשַׁב as settling or abiding in a place, while explicitly reflecting the masculine plural address inherent in the morphology.
