SIBI-P1 H3063-05

and in Praised-One (Judah)

Rootידה (y-d-h)
Core Meaningspraise, thanksgiving, confession, acknowledgment
Semantic RangePersonal name (son of Jacob), tribal designation (tribe of Judah), territorial region (land of Judah), later shorthand for the southern kingdom.
Conceptual SignificanceJudah becomes the leading tribe of Israel, associated with kingship and the Davidic line. The root idea of "praise" reflects Leah’s declaration at his birth (Genesis 29:35) and shapes the theological identity of Judah as a locus of covenant promise and royal hope.
Morphological Notesוּ = conjunction "and"; בִּ = preposition "in"; יְהוּדָה = proper noun, masculine singular. The form is not inflected for number or gender beyond its inherent masculine singular proper-name status.
Rendering RationaleThe name יְהוּדָה (Judah) derives from the root ידה, "to praise, give thanks, confess." Rendering it as "Praised-One" preserves the root sense embedded in the proper name, while retaining "Judah" for recognition. The prefixed וּ (and) and בִּ (in) are reflected in "and in," matching the conjunction and prepositional morphology.
