Brown-Driver-Briggs Expanded Definition

[בָּלָה] verb become old and worn out (Arabic

, Aramaic בְּלֵי,

, Ethiopic

id.) —

Qal Perfect בָּלְתָה Deuteronomy 8:4, בָּלוּ Deuteronomy 29:4 +; Imperfect יִבְלֶה Job 13:28 etc.; Infinitive with suffix בְּלֹתִי Genesis 18:12; — wear out (intransitive), especially of garments Deuteronomy 8:4; Deuteronomy 29:4 (twice in verse), all with מֵעַל pregnantly wear out (and fall) from upon... (hence Nehemiah 9:21), Joshua 9:13; figurative of the heavens (with simile of garment) Isaiah 50:9; Psalm 102:27 כַּבֶּגֶד יִבְלוּ, the earth Isaiah 51:6 כַּבֶּגֶד תִּבְלֶה; the bones (through suffering) Psalm 32:3; afflicted man Job 13:28 וְהוּא כְּרָקָב יִבְלֶה ("" כְּבֶגֶדאֲכָלוֺ עָשׁ); of an aged and decrepit woman Genesis 18:12 (J) אַחֲרֵי בְלֹתִי after I am worn out.

Pi`el causative of Qal.

a. wear out (transitive), figurative Lamentations 3:4 בִּלָּה בְשָׂרִיוְעוֺרִי, Psalm 49:15 and their form לְבַלּוֺת שְּׁאוֺל is for Sh®°ôl to consume away (others read לִבְלוֺת is for wasting away [Dr^{§ 204}], connecting ׳שׁ with following), 1 Chronicles 17:9 לְבַלֹּתוֺ to wear it (Israel) out (altered from לְעַנּוֺתוֺ 2 Samuel 7:10), compare Daniel 7:25 Aramaic

b. wear out by use, use to the full, Isaiah 65:22 and the work of their hands יְבַלּוּ they shall use to the full, enjoy, Job 21:13 they wear out their days in prosperity (Qr here יְכַלּוּ complete, which perhaps is the true reading in both passages; compare Exodus 5:13; Job 36:11). — On ַבּלּוֺתֹּי Psalm 92:11, see below בָּלַל.

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

בָּלָה fut. יִבְלֶה pr. to fall, to fall away, to fail (like נָבַל, אָבַל, which see), abfallen, einfallen, verfallen, specially used

(1) of garments fallen away and torn by use and age. Followed by מֵעַל. Deuteronomy 8:4, “thy raiment לֹא בָֽלְתָה מֵעָלֶיךָ fell not away from thee” (worn out and torn). Deuteronomy 29:4, and absol. Joshua 9:13; Nehemiah 9:21. Applied to the heaven and the earth perishing like an old garment, Isaiah 50:9, 51:6 Psalms 102:27. (Arab. بَلِىَ to be worn out as a garment.)

(2) of men, who through sickness, age, or cares, waste away; Germ. einfallen, verfallen (compare Gr. παλαιός, and with another flexion, μέλω, curo). Job 13:28, והוּא בְּרָקָב יִבְלֶה, “and he (δεικτικῶς for I) as a rotten thing falleth away,” wasteth. Genesis 18:12; Psalms 32:3. (Compare بَالَى to care for, pr. to be consumed with cares; بِلْىُ consumed with cares; بَالُ, ܒܳܠܳ the heart, the mind, so called from cares (see בָּל ). Eth. በልየ፡ to be or become old.) Hence

(3) to fail wholly, to be brought to nothing; whence בַּל, בְּלִי, בִּלְתִּי nothing, not.

Piel

(1) causat. of Kal No. 2, Lamentations 3:4 hence generally, to consume, to waste (trans.), Psalms 49:15; Isaiah 65:22. Applied to time, as in Lat. tempus terere, τρίβειν βίον. Job 21:13, יְבַלּוּ בַטּוֹב יְמֵיהֶם “they spend or pass their days in wealth.”

(2) to afflict, trouble, 1 Chronicles 17:9. (Arab. بلى IV. id. بَاَءُ and بَليَّةُ sorrow, affliction, calamity.) Compare Ch. בְּלָא.

Hence are derived the nouns and particles אֲבָל, בַּל, בָּל, בָּלֶה, בְּלוֹ, בְּלִי, בִּלְתִּי, בְּלוֹאִים, תַּבְלִית, and the compounds בְּלִיַּעַל, בִּלעֲדֵי, בְּלִימָה.
