loyal-kindness
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcmsa); no article or pronominal suffix attached in this form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֶסֶד (masculine singular absolute) denotes a single instance or quality of covenantal loyalty expressed through active kindness. "Loyal-kindness" preserves the root idea of enduring, relational devotion rather than mere sentiment, while accurately reflecting the masculine singular absolute form without added suffixes or plurality. |
