your inner core
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular construct with 2ms pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun לֵבָב denotes the inner being or central faculty of thought and desire; the 2nd masculine singular pronominal suffix requires "your" addressing a male. "Inner core" preserves the root sense of interiority beyond merely the physical organ. |
