To lead, bear along, or carry in procession (Hifil); to be led or carried (Hofal)
Yabal in the Hifil stem means to lead, conduct, or bear something along, often with ceremonial or processional overtones, as when nations bring offerings to God's temple (Ps 68:29, Zeph 3:10). The Hofal passive portrays someone or something being led or carried, ranging from the stately bridal procession of Psalm 45:14 to the haunting image of the suffering servant led like a lamb to slaughter (Isa 53:7). Spanish consistently reaches for 'llevar' and 'guiar,' while French favors 'conduire,' both capturing the directed, purposeful movement this verb implies. The Aramaic cognate and Akkadian abalu confirm the ancient Near Eastern resonance of formal conveyance.
Senses
1. bring, carry (Hifil active) — Active Hifil causative meaning to bring, lead, or carry someone or something to a destination, often with processional dignity. Psalm 68:29 envisions kings bringing gifts to the temple, and Psalm 76:11 calls surrounding nations to present offerings. Spanish uses 'guiar' (to guide) alongside 'llevar' (to carry), reflecting both the directional and transport dimensions. 7×

2. be led, be guided (Hofal passive) — Hofal passive denoting being led or guided along a path, with emphasis on direction and accompaniment. Psalm 45:14-15 describes the royal bride being led to the king, while Isaiah 53:7 portrays the servant being led to slaughter. The French 'conduire' and the Spanish 'ser llevado' both highlight the passive, purposeful quality of the movement. 6×

3. be carried, be brought (Hofal passive) — Hofal passive with emphasis on being carried or transported as cargo or a passive object, stressing conveyance rather than personal guidance. In Hosea 10:6, tribute is carried to Assyria; in Job 10:19, Job wishes he had been carried straight from womb to grave. The distinction from sense 2 lies in the impersonal, freight-like quality of the transport. 5×
