SIBI-P1 H8605-11
his intercessory plea
| Root | פלל (p-l-l) |
| Core Meanings | to judge, intervene, arbitrate, intercede |
| Semantic Range | prayer, intercession, supplication, petition, plea for judgment or mercy, devotional hymn |
| Conceptual Significance | תְּפִלָּה expresses the act of seeking divine intervention or mediation, reflecting Israel’s covenantal practice of appealing to YHWH as judge and deliverer. It underscores relational dependence and the belief that God actively responds to human intercession. |
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine singular noun in construct form (תְּפִלַּת) with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix (־וֹ), yielding "his." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun תְּפִלָּה derives from the root פלל, conveying the act of intervening or interceding. Rendering it as "intercessory plea" preserves this core sense of mediation rather than using the more generalized "prayer." The form is feminine singular in construct with a 3rd masculine singular suffix ("his"), accurately reflected in "his intercessory plea." |
