| Root | שם (š-m) |
| Core Meanings | name, mark, memorial, reputation, renown, authority, identity |
| Semantic Range | personal name, designation, reputation, fame, memorial, character, authority, enduring legacy |
| Conceptual Significance | In 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 Notes | Masculine singular noun in the construct state (Ncmsc) with prefixed preposition לְ (HR/). Absolute forms (Ncmsa) also occur. No pronominal suffix in these instances. |
| Rendering Rationale | The 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. |
