SIBI-P1 H2803-16

to weave a plan (to reckon)

Rootחשב (ḥ-š-b)
Core Meaningsweaving, interweaving, devising, planning, reckoning, accounting, considering
Semantic Rangeto think, plan, devise, reckon, calculate, account, esteem, regard, impute, invent, consider, plot (sometimes maliciously)
Conceptual SignificanceThis root links craftsmanship (weaving intricate designs) with mental activity, portraying thought as the interweaving of ideas. In biblical theology it often conveys intentionality—whether divine reckoning, human planning, or moral accounting—highlighting that thoughts and plans are purposeful constructions.
Morphological NotesVerb, Qal stem, infinitive construct with prefixed ל ("to"). Active simple stem expressing the basic action of the root.
Rendering RationaleThe Qal infinitive construct with prefixed ל expresses purpose or intent, "to…". The rendering preserves the root image of interweaving (the original sense of weaving or plaiting) while reflecting its extended meaning of mentally devising or reckoning, thus maintaining both the concrete and figurative dimensions of חָשַׁב.
