Yadah

Yadah is the third person singular qal form of the Hebrew verbal root ydh, which depending on its conjugation carries a range of meanings involving throwing or praising. In the qal form is is used to describe the "shooting" of arrows in Jeremiah 50:14. The piel form of the verb is used for "throwing" (stones at a person, in Lamentations 3:53) or "casting down" ("the horns of the nations," in Zechariah 2:4). In the hiphil form it is used most often for "praising" (usually in the context of ritual worship) and occasionally for confessing one's sins. The hitpael form has a similar range of meanings, but is used most often for confession and less commonly for praise.
