SIBI-P1 H859-02
you (masculine singular)
| Root | אתה (ʾ-t-h) |
| Core Meanings | second-person reference, direct address, personal presence |
| Semantic Range | Direct address to a single male person; emphasis on the addressee; contrastive or emphatic "you" in discourse. |
| Conceptual Significance | This pronoun frequently marks covenantal address between יהוה and an individual male (e.g., patriarchs, kings, prophets), underscoring personal responsibility, relationship, and direct accountability within the biblical narrative. |
| Morphological Notes | Independent personal pronoun; second person masculine singular (HPp2ms). Used for direct address to one male individual. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form אַתָּה is the independent second-person masculine singular pronoun (HPp2ms). The rendering "you (masculine singular)" preserves the grammatical person, number, and gender explicitly, which are marked in Hebrew though not distinguished in standard English. |
