I. [שָׁרָה] verb let loose (Late Hebrew id., dissolve; Assyrian šarû, Pi`el open (building, for use), dedicate it; tašrîtu, dedication; Oaram. שרה loose, so Aramaic שְׁרָא, ; Ethiopic
remit, condone); —
Qal Imperfect 3 masculine singular suffix יִשְׁרֵ֫הוּ Job 37:3 he (God) lets it loose (i.e. the thunder). Pi`el Perfect 1 singular suffix שֵׁרִיתִ֫ךָ Jer 15:11 Qr I will set thee free (compare Jer 40:4 ᵑ7 ᵑ6), but dubious; Kt שרותך (i.e. שָָׁרוֺתִךָ, √ שׁרר), Thes Gie I vex thee [שָׁרַר = צָרַר, very dubious]; Ew and others RV strengthen thee; this yields best sense, but as Aramaic שׁרר is intransitive, read then שֵׁרַרְתִּךָ or הֲשֵׁרוֺתִךָ, Dr; Jerome Rabb read שֵׁרִיתְךָ = שְׁאֵרִיתְךָ thy remnant (AV).
