(When David says, “I will give thee understanding”, that is a sign that God will give to everyone that will trust in him, and work through him, that he may know what evil he must avoid doing, and what good he must do. He has then here a reply in the person of God.)
Etymology
From imm- (“around”) + gaibid (“to take”). The prefix imm- is reduplicated in deuterotonic forms. Occasional spellings with imc-, suggesting the pronunciation /imɡ-/, lead Pedersen and Thurneysen to suggest the original form may have been imm- + uss- + gaibid.
