It conveys a sense of readiness or agreement to a particular action or decision. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it often reflects a positive disposition towards God's will or commands.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, willingness and consent were significant in covenant relationships, both between individuals and between God and His people. The concept of being willing was not merely about passive acceptance but involved active participation and commitment. This aligns with the broader biblical theme of obedience and submission to God's will, which was central to the covenantal relationship between God and Israel.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>see <a href="/hebrew/994b.htm">bayay</a>.<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">בָּיַי</font>, <font class="hebrew2">בַּי</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>entreat</b></font> (Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb010604.gif"> <em>come as suppliant, entreat</em>, still current in the Hauran: see Wetzst in De<sup>Job 34:36</sup>), of which (probably) <font class="hebrew2">אָבִי</font> <a href="/interlinear/job/34-36.htm">Job 34:36</a> is 1 singular imperfect (used dialectically): <font class="hebrew2">אָבִי</font> <font class="hebrew2">יִבְּחֵן אִיּוֺב</font> <em>would that</em> (literally <em>I entreat that</em>) Job were tried! <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>desire <p>From <a href="/hebrew/14.htm">'abah</a>; longing -- desire. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/14.htm">'abah</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>אָבִ֗י אבי ’ā·ḇî ’āḇî aVi<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/job/34-36.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Job 34:36</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/job/34.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3"> <b> אָבִ֗י </b> יִבָּחֵ֣ן אִיּ֣וֹב</span><br><a href="/kjvs/job/34.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> <span class="itali">My desire</span> [is that] Job may be tried<br><a href="/interlinear/job/34-36.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> <span class="itali">desire</span> to be tried Job<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_15.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_15.htm">Strong's Hebrew 15<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/avi_15.htm">’ā·ḇî — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/14.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="14"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="14" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/16.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="16"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="16" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
