SIBI-P1 H3068-07

to the Self-Existent One

Rootהיה (h-y-h)
Core Meaningsto be, to exist, to become, self-existence, eternal being
Semantic RangePrimarily the proper name of Israel's covenant God, denoting the self-Existent/Eternal One; used in direct address, oaths, worship, prophecy, and narrative; occasionally in phrases like 'for YHWH' or 'to YHWH' indicating dedication or direction.
Conceptual Significanceיהוה is the sacred, unpronounced Tetragrammaton representing God's personal, covenantal name revealed to Moses (Exod 3:14), central to Israel's monotheistic faith, emphasizing His eternal existence and faithfulness in contrast to idols; in the SIBI context, highlighting semantic ties to 'being' underscores theological depth over generic 'LORD' substitutions.
Morphological NotesHR/Np: Hebrew preposition לַ (feminine definite direct object marker 'to the') + proper noun יהוה (Yᵉhôvâh), appearing in 572 occurrences with minor orthographic and accentual variants.
Rendering RationaleThis rendering preserves the root הָיָה ('to be'), emphasizing the self-existent, eternal nature of God as derived from the lexeme's gloss, while reflecting the morphology as a feminine Hebrew preposition לַ (HR/Np) governing the proper noun יהוה in all occurrences. It maintains the dative or directional sense ('to YHWH') without imposing English gender/number distinctions inapplicable to this invariable construct form.
