she will hunger
| Root | רעב (r-ʿ-b) |
| Core Meanings | hunger, famine, lack of food, craving born of need |
| Semantic Range | to be hungry, to suffer hunger, to experience famine, to lack sustenance, metaphorically to long or crave deeply |
| Conceptual Significance | Hunger in the Hebrew Bible often signifies not only physical deprivation but also covenantal consequence, dependence upon YHWH for provision, or deeper spiritual longing. The verb highlights human vulnerability and the necessity of divine sustenance. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd feminine singular from the root רעב; denotes an incomplete or future action performed by a feminine singular subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root רעב conveys the experience of hunger or deprivation of food. The form תִרְעָב is Qal imperfect, 3rd feminine singular, indicating a future or incomplete action performed by a feminine singular subject; therefore, "she will hunger" accurately reflects both the root meaning and the grammatical form. |
