his heart-core
| Root | לבב (l-b-b) |
| Core Meanings | inner being, heart, mind, will, courage |
| Semantic Range | The physical heart; the inner self; mind; understanding; intention; will; courage; moral character; the seat of thought and emotion. |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical anthropology, the לֵבָב is the center of thought, volition, and moral decision-making. It represents the inner covenantal core of a person—the place of trust, rebellion, wisdom, or devotion before YHWH. |
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew noun common masculine singular construct (לְבָב) with 3ms pronominal suffix (וֹ), yielding "heart of him" → "his heart." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun לְבָב is a masculine singular construct form with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix, literally "heart of him." Rendering it "his heart-core" preserves the concrete imagery of the inner center (לבב) while explicitly marking possession by "his." |
