SIBI-P1 H3063-08
Praised-One
| Root | ידה (y-d-h) |
| Core Meanings | praise, give thanks, confess, acknowledge |
| Semantic Range | Judah; the individual son of Jacob; the tribe descended from him; the territorial kingdom in the south; by extension, the southern kingdom as a political entity. |
| Conceptual Significance | Judah becomes the leading tribe of Israel, the royal line of David, and the locus of messianic expectation. The name’s connection to praise underscores themes of gratitude, covenant loyalty, and kingship emerging from Leah’s declaration at his birth (Gen 29:35). |
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, masculine singular (HNp). Functions as a personal name (son of Jacob), the tribal name, and the territorial designation. |
| Rendering Rationale | יְהוּדָה is a masculine singular proper noun derived from the root ידה (to praise, give thanks). Rendering it as "Praised-One" preserves the passive sense embedded in the name ("he is praised") while reflecting its masculine singular form. |
