and my inner-heart
| Root | לבב (l-b-b) |
| Core Meanings | heart, inner self, mind, will, inner seat of thought and emotion |
| Semantic Range | inner being, mind, understanding, will, intention, emotion, courage, conscience, the center or midst of something |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical thought, the לֵב is the seat of covenant loyalty, moral decision-making, and spiritual perception. It represents the whole inner person before YHWH—where obedience, wisdom, rebellion, or devotion originate. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in construct form (לִבּ-) with 1cs pronominal suffix (-ִי, "my"); frequently preceded by conjunction וְ ("and") or preposition בְ ("in"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun לֵב (from the root לבב) denotes the inner center of thought, will, and emotion. The form לִבִּי is masculine singular construct with a 1st person common singular suffix, meaning "my heart," and the prefixed וְ adds "and." "And my inner-heart" preserves both the personal possessive (1cs) and the root sense of the heart as the inner core of the self. |
