for the needy man
| Root | אבה (ʾ-b-h) |
| Core Meanings | to desire, to long for, to be willing, craving |
| Semantic Range | needy person, poor man, destitute one, beggar, one in want or lacking resources |
| Conceptual Significance | אֶבְיוֹן frequently denotes the socially and economically vulnerable, forming a key category in Torah ethics and prophetic justice. Care for the אֶבְיוֹן reflects covenant faithfulness and YHWH’s concern for those in material and social need. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ with assimilated definite article (לָ) + masculine singular adjective אֶבְיוֹן functioning substantivally; absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | אֶבְיוֹן derives from the root אבה in the sense of longing or want, describing one characterized by need. The form is masculine singular absolute used substantivally, with a prefixed לָ (lamed + definite article), hence "for the needy man," preserving both singular masculine sense and the definite article. |
