Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

לָבַב a root unused in Kal; prob. i.q. נָבַב (comp. Job 11:12), to be hollow [“prob. to be fat, the primary idea lies in the smoothness of fat things.” See Thes.]; hence לֵב, לֵבָב, לִבָּה the heart, and לְבִיבָה a kind of cake, so called from its hollow form, [but see above as to the meaning of this root].

Niphal, denom. from לֵבָב pass. of Piel No. 1, to be deprived, to be void of heart, i.e. of mind, of understanding. Job 11:12 וְאִישׁ נָבוּב יִלָּבֵב וְעַיִר פֶּרֶא אָדָם יִוָּלֵד “but man (is) empty, (and) void of understanding, and man is born (like) a wild ass’s colt;” signifying the imbecility and dulness of the human understanding when compared with the divine wisdom. There is a play of words in the use of the verbs נָבוּב and יִלָּבֵב of a like origin. I formerly objected to this interpretation, which alone is suitable to the context, on the ground that there is no example of the privative power of Piel being transferred to Niphal; but this is removed by Arabic examples, as مكبود wounded in the liver. Or perhaps it may be inquired by the learned, whether the signification of dulness in יִלָּבֵב may not be drawn from the verb לבב itself, in the sense of hollowness [but has it such a sense?], so that יִלָּבֵב may be almost the same as נָבוּב. Others, by comparison of Syr. ܠܰܒܶܒ to make wise, to add understanding; Ethpael, to be made wise, strengthened, render “but dull man becomes wise, (when) a man shall be born the colt of a wild ass,” i.e. never; but this is contrary to the dignity of the Hebrew language.

Pieli לבֵּב

(1) denom. from לֵבָב, to wound, to take away any one’s heart (spoken of a maiden), Song of Solomon 4:9. Compare as to such denominatives, Heb. Gram. § 51, 2.

(2) denom. from לְבִיבָה to make such cakes, 2 Samuel 13:6, 2 Samuel 13:8(see לְבִיבָה).
