WISH
wish:
The word appears both as a substantive and as a verb in the Old Testament, having a variety of meanings: The substantive, peh, means "mouth" and also "speech." In this form it occurs in Job 33:6 margin:
"Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead." Elihu here refers to Job's expressed desire for an umpire (9:33), and one who would maintain his right with God (16:21). The verb:
haphets, "willing," or "desirous" (Psalms 40:14 the King James Version); sha'-al, "to ask," "petition," "supplicate" (Job 31:30 the King James Version); another variation of meaning is found in Psalms 73:7 where maskith, "to imagine," is translated "wish":
"They have more than heart could wish"; euchomai, "to solicit," "to implore" (Romans 9:3).
