Exegesis
The particle na {נָא | nāʾ} ‘please’ softens the imperative tashav {תָּשָׁב | tā-šāḇ} ‘let return’, with nefesh-hayeled {נֶֽפֶשׁ־הַיֶּ֥לֶד | ne-pheš-hā-yé-leḏ} ‘soul of the boy’ as direct object.
In context — 1 Kings 17:21
And he stretched himself upon the boy three times and cried out to the LORD and said, “O LORD my God , please let the soul of this boy return within him.”
