SIBI-P1 H3824-16
heart
| Root | לבב (l-b-b) |
| Core Meanings | heart, inner being, mind, will, courage, understanding |
| Semantic Range | Physical heart; inner self; seat of thought, intention, and will; conscience; courage; emotional center; understanding; moral character. |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical anthropology, the לֵבָב is the central organ of the person—the locus of thought, decision, faithfulness, and rebellion. It represents the integrated inner life from which obedience or disobedience to יהוה flows, making it foundational to covenantal theology and spiritual transformation. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun (common gender listed as masculine), appearing in both absolute and construct states; no pronominal suffix in these forms. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun לֵבָב is masculine singular (absolute or construct), and the simple rendering “heart” preserves both its grammatical singularity and its concrete imagery. Because the root לבב refers to the inner core or seat of thought and will, “heart” in English best maintains the organic, interior sense rather than reducing it to merely “mind.” |
