The Hebrew culture, deeply rooted in covenantal relationships with God, viewed true profit as aligning with God's will and purposes. The idea of profit was often tied to obedience to God's commandments and the resulting blessings.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>the same as <a href="/hebrew/3886.htm">lua</a>, q.v.<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">יַָלע</font> <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/20-25.htm">Proverbs 20:25</a> see <font class="hebrew2">לעע</font>. </p><p><font class="hebrew2">ילף</font> (√ of foll; meaning dubious; Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb041001.gif"> III. is <em>conjunctus fuit</em> cum aliquo, etc., Frey; whence <font class="hebrew2">ילפת</font> as an <em>accretion?</em> so Thes 'ab adhaerendo'). <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>devour <p>A primitive root; to blurt or utter inconsiderately -- devour. <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>יָ֣לַע ילע yā·la‘ Yala yāla‘<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/proverbs/20-25.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Proverbs 20:25</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/proverbs/20.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">מוֹקֵ֣שׁ אָ֭דָם <b> יָ֣לַע </b> קֹ֑דֶשׁ וְאַחַ֖ר</span><br><a href="/kjvs/proverbs/20.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> to the man <span class="itali">[who] devoureth</span> [that which is] holy,<br><a href="/interlinear/proverbs/20-25.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> trap A man <span class="itali">devoureth</span> is holy and after<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3216.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3216.htm">Strong's Hebrew 3216<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/yala_3216.htm">yā·la‘ — 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/3215.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="3215"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="3215" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/3217.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="3217"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="3217" /></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>
