SIBI-P1
you (masculine singular)
| Root | אתה (ʾ-t-h) |
| Core Meanings | second person reference, direct address, personal designation |
| Semantic Range | you (masculine singular), yourself (masculine singular), direct address to one male individual, emphatic personal reference |
| Conceptual Significance | This pronoun marks direct covenantal, prophetic, or personal address in the biblical text. Its explicit masculine singular form can distinguish an individual male (such as a king, prophet, or representative figure) from a group, shaping interpretation in legal, relational, and theological contexts. |
| Morphological Notes | Independent personal pronoun; second person masculine singular (HPp2ms). Not derived from a verbal stem; functions syntactically as subject, predicate complement, or in apposition for emphasis. |
| Rendering Rationale | This form is the independent second person masculine singular pronoun (HPp2ms). The rendering "you (masculine singular)" preserves the grammatical gender and number explicitly, reflecting that the speaker addresses one male individual directly. |
