obedience-of
| Root | יקה (y-q-h) |
| Core Meanings | obedience, submission, gathering, attentive compliance |
| Semantic Range | obedience, filial compliance, submission to authority, attentive heeding, possibly gathering in the sense of being brought under instruction |
| Conceptual Significance | In Proverbs 30:17 the term highlights the covenantal and familial expectation of honoring and heeding parental authority. Obedience is portrayed not merely as outward compliance but as attentive submission within the ordered structure of family and community life. |
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine singular noun in construct state (לִיקֲּהַת), governing a following noun to express possession or relation ("obedience of …"). Occurs once (Prov 30:17). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is feminine singular in the construct state (Ncfsc), indicating "obedience of…" in relation to what follows. Rendering it as "obedience-of" preserves both the core sense of submissive compliance inherent in the root and the grammatical construct relationship expressed in the Hebrew form. |
