H4938a H4938a
support, staff; that which one leans on for stability
This feminine counterpart to the previous word appears in the same Isaiah passage, paired for emphatic completeness. Together, 'support and staff' represent every form of sustaining resource. The feminine form may suggest a slightly different nuance—perhaps more abstract support versus the more physical masculine 'staff'—but the pairing's main function is rhetorical emphasis. When both forms appear together, it means 'every kind of support imaginable.' The coming judgment will be comprehensive.

1. sense 1 — The feminine form of 'support,' paired with the masculine form in Isaiah 3:1 to emphasize complete removal of all sustaining resources from Jerusalem. Using both grammatical genders 'exhausts the category' (as BDB notes), meaning 'support of every kind.' The conjunction 'and support' links this to the previous term, creating a comprehensive merism—everything from most tangible to most abstract that keeps society functioning. The judgment will strip away not just some supports but all of them, leaving the community without any foundation to stand on, whether material, political, or spiritual. 1×
