ya.chad denotes being brought into union, whether with an assembly, in burial, or within the heart’s fear of God.

The attested use concerns union or inclusion: it is denied in relation to an assembly and burial, while Psalm 86:11 asks for the heart to be made unified in fearing God.

Senses in use

  1. Union, inclusion, or inner unification · dominant

    In Genesis 49:6, the Qal jussive asks that glory not be joined to an assembly; in Isaiah 14:20, the Qal imperfect denies being joined with others in burial. In Psalm 86:11, the Piel imperative directs the action toward the heart in the request to fear God's name; the APB renders the clause "Unite my heart to fear your name."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with "be joined" in Genesis 49:6 and Isaiah 14:20, and with "Unite" in Psalm 86:11. These renderings confirm the clauses' overall presentation rather than establish separate lexical senses.
