SIBI-P1 H14-10
he is willing
| Root | אבה (ʾ-b-h) |
| Core Meanings | breathing after, willingness, consent, acquiescence, desire |
| Semantic Range | to be willing, to consent, to be inclined toward, to acquiesce, to desire or be disposed toward something (often contrasted with refusal). |
| Conceptual Significance | This verb often marks the moral posture of the heart—whether one consents to YHWH’s will or refuses it. It highlights the inner disposition behind obedience, underscoring the biblical emphasis on willing submission rather than mere outward compliance. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine singular from the primitive root אבה; expresses ongoing or future willingness by a masculine singular subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root אבה conveys the idea of "breathing after" something, figuratively expressing willingness or consent. As a Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular form, יֹאבֶה is rendered "he is willing," preserving both the core sense of inward consent and the masculine singular verbal subject indicated by the morphology. |
