between him
| Root | בין (b-y-n) |
| Core Meanings | separation, distinction, discernment, understanding |
| Semantic Range | between, among, in the midst of, within, distinguishing between, separating from; by extension related to discernment or making distinctions. |
| Conceptual Significance | From the root בין (“to discern, distinguish”), this term reflects the biblical emphasis on divinely established distinctions—between holy and common, clean and unclean, Israel and the nations. Even in its simple prepositional use, it echoes the foundational theme of separation and ordered distinction in covenantal thought. |
| Morphological Notes | Prepositional form of בֵּין (construct form functioning as a preposition) with 3ms pronominal suffix וֹ (“him”). No change in gender or number beyond the singular masculine suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form בֵּינוֹ consists of the prepositional noun בֵּין (“between, distinction”) with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix (“him”). The rendering “between him” preserves the core idea of separation/distinction inherent in the root בין while accurately reflecting the masculine singular suffix. |
