Root and etymology

“to live, be alive”
In context — Ezekiel 20:21
But the children rebelled against Me ; they did not walk in My statutes, and they did not keep My judgments to perform them—those which, if a person does, he will live by them ; they profaned My Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out My wrath upon them to bring My anger to an end in the wilderness.
