for the Name of

Rootשם (š-m)
Core Meaningsname, mark, memorial, reputation, renown, authority, identity
Semantic Rangepersonal name, designation, reputation, fame, memorial, character, authority, enduring legacy
Conceptual SignificanceIn the Hebrew Bible, "Name" signifies more than a label; it embodies character, authority, and manifested presence. Acting "for the Name" invokes covenant loyalty and the revealed identity of יהוה, where the Name represents His reputation, holiness, and renown among the nations.
Morphological NotesMasculine singular noun in the construct state (Ncmsc) with prefixed preposition לְ (HR/). Absolute forms (Ncmsa) also occur. No pronominal suffix in these instances.
Rendering RationaleThe form לְשֵׁם consists of the preposition לְ ("for/to") prefixed to the masculine singular construct noun שֵׁם ("name"). Rendering it as "for the Name of" preserves the construct state (which requires a following complement) and maintains the singular masculine sense of a distinct, identifiable Name tied to identity and reputation.
