to act arrogantly, storm against, overwhelm

Senses
1. sense 1 — Expresses forceful, stormy action varying by context. Isaiah 3:5 describes the youth 'storming against' (יִרְהֲבוּ) the elder in social chaos. Proverbs 6:3 advises 'beset, importune' (רְהַב) your friend to escape debt surety—urgent pleading. Song of Songs 6:5 has the beloved's eyes 'overwhelm me' (הִרְהִיבֻנִי), possibly alarming or awing (text uncertain). The root relates to Arabic 'be alarmed, frightened' and Aramaic 'be arrogant.' Multilingual glosses show semantic uncertainty: Spanish 'Se-insolentarán' (arrogance), 'importuna' (importune), 'me-fortaleciste' (strengthened me), French 'me-troublent' (trouble me)—reflecting the term's interpretive challenges and emotional intensity. 4×
