Enquire ye.26This root is very often met with in the Talmud in the phrases ,אבעיו להו ,ליה בעי They or he asked a question.—A. V., Ye will enquire. Enquire ye. The root בעה to wish, to enquire, is of Chaldaic origin; the third letter of the root is here fully written, י being substituted for ה. The same is the case in בְּעָיוּ wish ye, which is like שְׁלָחוּ send (2 Kings 2:17). The meaning of the whole phrase is: If you wish to come, do so.
