SIBI-P1 H183-09
you will long
| Root | אוה (ʾ-w-h) |
| Core Meanings | desire, longing, craving, wishfulness |
| Semantic Range | to desire, to long for, to crave, to covet, to yearn after (whether for good or ill) |
| Conceptual Significance | אָוָה describes powerful inner inclination—whether righteous longing (e.g., for God or goodness) or misplaced craving. It highlights the role of inward desire in shaping covenant faithfulness or rebellion, emphasizing that sin and obedience alike begin in the heart’s longings. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal imperfect (yiqtol), 2nd person masculine singular from אוה. The doubling of the ת reflects the imperfect prefix with the initial root consonant א assimilated in pronunciation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root אוה expresses a deep inward longing or craving. The form תתאו is Qal imperfect, second person masculine singular, indicating a simple active action: "you (masculine singular) will long." The rendering preserves the core sense of inward desire while reflecting the direct, active force of the Qal stem and the 2ms subject. |
