Hiphil: The causative active stem (“he caused / brought about”). Here: ‘rarely stretch out’
Niphal: Usually the simple passive or reflexive of the Qal (“he was written”). Here: ‘be stretched out’

Sequential Imperfect: An imperfect with prefixed waw — the standard past-narrative form (waw-consecutive imperfect).

Participle Active: A verbal adjective expressing ongoing or characteristic action (“writing / one who writes”).
Sequential Perfect: A perfect with prefixed waw continuing a preceding imperfect or command (waw-consecutive perfect).
Infinitive Construct: A bound verbal noun, frequently with prepositions (“to write / in writing”).
Imperfect: An incomplete, ongoing, or future action (“he will / would write”).
Jussive: A third- or second-person volitional form expressing wish or command (“let him write”).

Absolute: The independent form of a noun, not bound to a following word.

How translations render this word

Counts come from each version’s own published word-to-Strong’s tagging or interlinear alignment — an approximate guide to how each version renders this word, not a word-level alignment the data otherwise carries. Because each total is that version’s own tagged count, the per-version totals vary from one another and need not match the appearance or distinct-verse counts above. These counts may also differ from a printed concordance because Lemma counts each distinctly tagged rendering and does not collapse phrase taggings into a single head-word total. This is a fixed set of word-tagged versions (KJV, ASV, BSB, ULT) and does not change with the reading translation you choose elsewhere. Each version’s license is shown beside its name below (and on Sources).

Part of speech: Verb TWOT: 1352

Jastrow Dictionary

A second Hebrew/Aramaic lexicon for comparison, covering Aramaic and post-biblical (Talmudic, Targumic, Midrashic) usage that the biblical-Hebrew BDB does not. Matched by lemma rather than by Strong’s number, so a lemma may carry more than one Jastrow headword (shown separately below), and the entries cover usage well beyond the Bible.

Forms in the corpus

The 139 distinct written forms H5186 takes in the Hebrew Bible, most frequent first — each parse links to that stem’s occurrences in the concordance. Hebrew forms include their vowel points and cantillation, so a single lemma takes many written forms.

Proper names from this root

People and places named from this root — a name, not an additional meaning of the word.

Septuagint verse parallels

This word appears in 197 verses that also exist in the Greek Old Testament (Septuagint), out of the 207 Hebrew verses it occurs in. You can read those verses in Greek by switching the Old Testament edition to the Septuagint.

Read these verses in the Septuagint

This is a verse-level parallel only — the same verses exist in both the Hebrew and Greek Old Testaments. No word-level Hebrew↔Greek correspondence is claimed: the data carries no such alignment, so no Greek word is shown as this Hebrew word’s translation. Coverage is not total — the Septuagint omits the deuterocanon and renumbers the Psalms, so some Hebrew verses have no direct Greek parallel.
