SIBI-P1 H8057-01
in rejoicing-gladness
| Root | שמח (ś-m-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | joy, gladness, rejoicing, delight |
| Semantic Range | joy, gladness, festal celebration, delight, jubilant worship, inner happiness, communal rejoicing |
| Conceptual Significance | שִׂמְחָה often denotes covenantal joy expressed in worship, festivals, and obedience before יהוה. It signifies not merely emotion but an embodied, communal rejoicing rooted in divine blessing and presence. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common feminine singular absolute (שִׂמְחָה) with prefixed preposition בְ (“in/with”). No pronominal suffix. Strong’s H8057. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שִׂמְחָה derives from the root שמח, "to rejoice, be glad." Rendering it as "rejoicing-gladness" preserves the verbal sense embedded in the noun, while the prefixed בְ is reflected by "in." The form is feminine singular absolute, expressed in English as a singular abstract noun. |
