SIBI-P1 H2587-01
a favor-showing one
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine singular absolute (often used substantively); from the verbal root חנן. Strong’s H2587/H2586. Occurs as a descriptive title, frequently of YHWH. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term חַנּוּן is a masculine singular adjective derived from the root חנן, "to show favor or be gracious." Rendering it as "a favor-showing one" preserves the active sense of extending favor inherent in the root while reflecting its masculine singular form, which often functions substantively ("one who shows favor"). |
