ya.cham describes flock conceiving and persons, metal, or a pursuer’s heart becoming warm or hot.

Its most visible use concerns the flock’s conceiving and producing young in the Genesis narrative. Other occurrences describe becoming warm or hot, whether of David, two people lying together, a bronze vessel, or the heart of a pursuing blood-redeemer; the contribution of the form in Psalm 51:7 is not identifiable from the supplied translation.

1. Flocks conceiving and producing young · dominant

   In Genesis 30:38 and Genesis 30:39, Qal sequential imperfect forms occur as the flock comes to drink, conceives before the rods, and brings forth marked young. Genesis 30:41 contains two Piel infinitive constructs in the clause about the stronger animals conceiving, and Genesis 31:10 again places a Piel infinitive construct at the time when the flock conceived.

2. Becoming warm or hot · common

   Qal imperfect forms describe David’s inability to get warm in 1 Kings 1:1 and the warmth sought by two people lying together in Ecclesiastes 4:11. The same form is used of the blood-redeemer’s heart becoming hot while pursuing the killer in Deuteronomy 19:6, while Ezekiel 24:11 uses a feminine singular Qal imperfect for bronze becoming hot and scorched.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the Genesis clauses with “conceived,” while the other clear contexts use “warm,” “hot,” or “become hot and scorched.” Because it is a whole-verse translation, Psalm 51:7 does not transparently show this term’s contribution.
