Genesis 24:5

And the Slave is saying toward him, `Perhaps the Woman is not breathing-after795 to walk the back of me toward this Earth of This one. To cause to turn back am I causing to turn back אֶת-your builder toward the Earth which you have gone out from there?`


Footnote:

795

Strong’s #14, avah. To breath after. This word is nearly always used with the negative “not”. “properly to breathe after, compare the roots kindred both in form and signification…Lat. aveo; hence: (1) to be inclined, willing, prone, to wish; except in Isaiah 1:19; Job 39:9, always found with a negative particle…” - Gesenius
