Rootישב (y-š-b)
Core Meaningsto sit, to remain, to dwell, to settle, to abide
Semantic Rangeto sit down, remain, dwell in a place, inhabit, reside, settle, abide, continue, establish residence
Conceptual SignificanceThe verb יָשַׁב expresses more than physical sitting; it conveys settled presence and enduring habitation. In biblical theology it often marks covenantal possession of land, communal stability, and the contrast between temporary sojourning and established dwelling in the land given by יהוה.
Morphological NotesQal active participle, masculine plural, absolute form of יָשַׁב (yāšab). Functions substantivally to denote "those who dwell" or "inhabitants."
Rendering RationaleThis form is a Qal active participle masculine plural, indicating "those who are sitting/dwelling." The rendering "the ones dwelling" preserves the participial sense of ongoing action or state and reflects the masculine plural morphology while capturing the root idea of settled sitting that extends to habitation.
