counsel

Rootיעץ (y-ʿ-ṣ)
Core Meaningsto advise, to counsel, to deliberate, to plan
Semantic Rangeadvice, counsel, deliberation, plan, purpose, strategy, prudent guidance
Conceptual Significanceעֵצָה expresses the concept of purposeful deliberation, whether human or divine. In Scripture it often denotes wise guidance or strategic planning, and when attributed to יהוה, it conveys the steadfast, sovereign purpose that stands over against human schemes.
Morphological NotesFeminine singular noun (עֵצָה), occurring primarily in the absolute state (HNcfsa); one instance appears in construct with a 3fs pronominal suffix ("her counsel"). Derived from the verbal root יעץ (Qal: to advise, give counsel).
Rendering RationaleThe rendering "counsel" preserves the core idea of deliberate advice or purposeful planning inherent in the root יעץ (to advise, deliberate). The form עֵצָה is a feminine singular noun, which is reflected by the singular English noun; where a 3rd feminine singular suffix appears ("her counsel"), the pronominal sense is retained in translation.
