yiq.qa.hah denotes the response directed toward a ruler or toward a mother in the two attested clauses.

The two occurrences present yiq.qa.hah as a response directed toward a person: the peoples toward the one whose coming is anticipated in Genesis 49:10, and a child toward a mother in Proverbs 30:17.

Senses in use

  1. Response directed toward a person · dominant

    Both occurrences use the noun in the construct singular. In Genesis 49:10, the form stands in the clause concerning the peoples and the awaited figure; the APB renders the clause “and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples.” In Proverbs 30:17, it occurs in the warning about an eye that “scorns obedience to a mother.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “obedience” in both clauses, once concerning the peoples and once concerning a mother. It does not by itself specify the term's precise contribution beyond those clauses.
