יְהַב

Ezra 4:20 מִתְיְהֵ֥ב [was] being paid

And mighty kings have ruled over Jerusalem and exercised authority over the whole region west of the Euphrates; and tribute, duty, and toll were paid to them.

Here: A passive participle, "being given." Set in a past context it describes ongoing, regular payment: the money used to flow to Jerusalem's kings, and it could again.

Ezra 5:12 יְהַ֣ב he gave

But since our fathers angered the God of heaven, He delivered them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean who destroyed this temple and carried away the people to Babylon.

Ezra 5:14 וִיהִ֙יבוּ֙ and they were given

He also removed from the temple of Babylon the gold and silver articles belonging to the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken and carried there from the temple in Jerusalem. King Cyrus gave these articles to a man named Sheshbazzar, whom he appointed governor

Here: 'And they were handed over.' It is literally 'they gave,' an impersonal plural that works like a passive and implies royal officials doing the transfer (Ezra 1:8 names the treasurer Mithredath).

Ezra 5:16 יְהַ֧ב he laid

So this Sheshbazzar came and laid the foundation of the house of God in Jerusalem, and from that time until now it has been under construction, but it has not yet been completed.”

Ezra 6:4 תִּתְיְהִֽב׃ let it be given

with three layers of cut stones and one of timbers. The costs are to be paid from the royal treasury.

Ezra 6:8 מִֽתְיַהֲבָ֛א given

I hereby decree what you must do for these elders of the Jews who are rebuilding this house of God: The cost is to be paid in full to these men from the royal treasury out of the taxes of the provinces west of the Euphrates, so that the work will not be hindered.

Ezra 6:9 מִתְיְהֵ֥ב given

Whatever is needed—young bulls, rams, and lambs for burnt offerings to the God of heaven, as well as wheat, salt, wine, and oil, as requested by the priests in Jerusalem—must be given to them daily without fail.

Ezra 7:19 מִתְיַהֲבִ֣ין [have been] given

You must deliver to the God of Jerusalem all the articles given to you for the service of the house of your God.

Daniel 2:21 יָהֵ֤ב [he is] giving

He changes the times and seasons; He removes kings and establishes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.

Here: "Is giving": again an ongoing action. Wisdom is a gift handed over, not a skill people produce for themselves. Daniel applies it to himself two verses later: "you have given me wisdom and power" (2:23).

Daniel 2:23 יְהַ֣בְתְּ you have given

To You, O God of my fathers, I give thanks and praise, because You have given me wisdom and power. And now You have made known to me what we have requested, for You have made known to us the dream of the king.”

Here: "You gave." A completed action. It echoes verse 21, where God "gives wisdom to the wise": Daniel is the proof of that line of his own hymn.

Daniel 2:37 יְהַב־ he has given

You, O king, are the king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given sovereignty, power, strength, and glory.

Here: A completed act: God has given, and it is done. Everything the king has is a grant. The same verb runs through the chapter: God 'gives' wisdom (2:21, 23) and 'has given' beasts and people into the king's hand (2:38).

Daniel 2:38 יְהַ֣ב he has given

Wherever the sons of men or beasts of the field or birds of the air dwell, He has given them into your hand and has made you ruler over them all. You are that head of gold.

Here: A completed action: 'he has given'. It picks up the same verb from verse 37 ('the God of heaven has given you'). Everything Nebuchadnezzar holds, he holds as a gift.

Daniel 2:48 יְהַב־ he gave

Then the king promoted Daniel and gave him many generous gifts. He made him ruler over the entire province of Babylon and chief administrator over all the wise men of Babylon.

Here: "He gave." The plain, ordinary verb for giving. The same verb was used of God, who "gives wisdom to the wise" (2:21) and gave Nebuchadnezzar his kingdom (2:37).

Daniel 3:28 וִיהַ֣בוּ and they gave

Nebuchadnezzar declared, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent His angel and delivered His servants who trusted in Him. They violated the king’s command and risked their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God.

Here: "And they gave," meaning they handed over or surrendered. They did not just gamble with danger. They gave themselves up to the fire.

Daniel 4:16 יִתְיְהִ֣ב let it be given

Let his mind be changed from that of a man, and let him be given the mind of a beast till seven times pass him by.

Here: 'Let it be given', a passive form. The beast-heart is not something he grows into. It is handed to him by someone else, which is the language of a sentence passed on him.

Daniel 5:17 הַ֑ב give!

In response, Daniel said to the king, “You may keep your gifts for yourself and give your rewards to someone else. Nevertheless, I will read the inscription for the king and interpret it for him.

Daniel 5:18 יְהַ֖ב he gave

As for you, O king, the Most High God gave your father Nebuchadnezzar sovereignty and greatness, glory and honor.

Here: 'He gave': a completed past act. It comes only after all four gifts have been listed, so the sentence rests on the verb: every one of these was a gift, not an achievement.

Daniel 5:19 יְהַב־ he gave

Because of the greatness that He bestowed on him, the people of every nation and language trembled in fear before him. He killed whom he wished and kept alive whom he wished; he exalted whom he wished and humbled whom he wished.

Daniel 5:28 וִיהִיבַ֖ת and it has been given

PERES means that your kingdom has been divided and given over to the Medes and Persians.”

Here: "And it has been given." Another passive with God as the unstated giver. The same verb runs through the book's statements that God gives kingship: to Nebuchadnezzar (2:37–38; 5:18–19) and in the end to 'one like a son of man' and the holy ones (7:14, 27).

Daniel 6:2 יָהֲבִ֤ין giving

and over them three administrators, including Daniel, to whom these satraps were accountable so that the king would not suffer loss.

Daniel 7:4 יְהִ֥יב it was given

The first beast was like a lion, and it had the wings of an eagle. I watched until its wings were torn off and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand on two feet like a man and given the mind of a man.

Here: "Was given": passive, with the giver unnamed. In Daniel 7 the same verb keeps marking what God grants or takes away (vv. 6, 12, 14, 22, 27).

Daniel 7:6 יְהִ֥יב it was given

Next, as I watched, suddenly another beast appeared. It was like a leopard, and on its back it had four wings like those of a bird. The beast also had four heads, and it was given authority to rule.

Daniel 7:11 וִיהִיבַ֖ת and it was given

Then I kept watching because of the arrogant words the horn was speaking. As I continued to watch, the beast was slain, and its body was destroyed and thrown into the blazing fire.

Daniel 7:12 יְהִ֥יבַת it was given

As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was removed, but they were granted an extension of life for a season and a time.

Daniel 7:14 יְהִ֤יב it was given

And He was given dominion, glory, and kingship, that the people of every nation and language should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and His kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.

Here: A passive verb that names no giver: 'was given'. In context the giver is plainly the Ancient of Days. The same form is used of the leopard-beast in 7:6 ('dominion was given to it'), so all power in the vision is on loan from God.

Daniel 7:22 יְהִ֔ב it was given

until the Ancient of Days arrived and pronounced judgment in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for them to possess the kingdom.

Here: As pointed by the scribes it is passive: 'was given'. The giver is not named, but the context makes the enthroned judge the obvious one. The ancient translations read it as 'he gave'.

Daniel 7:25 וְיִתְיַהֲב֣וּן so they may be given

He will speak out against the Most High and oppress the saints of the Most High, intending to change the appointed times and laws; and the saints will be given into his hand for a time, and times, and half a time.

Here: "And they will be given". The passive leaves the giver unnamed, which in Daniel implies God. The horn has the holy ones only because they are handed over, and only for a measured time. Most take "they" to be the holy ones.

Daniel 7:27 יְהִיבַ֕ת it was given

Then the sovereignty, dominion, and greatness of the kingdoms under all of heaven will be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will serve and obey Him.’

Here: A passive verb in the completed form: 'has been given'. Spoken of a future event, it presents God's decision as already settled. The giver is unnamed but plainly God, through the heavenly court of 7:26.
