her inner heart

Rootלבב (l-b-b)
Core Meaningsheart, inner being, mind, will, seat of understanding and resolve
Semantic Rangeinner self, mind, understanding, will, conscience, courage, emotional center, moral character
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical thought, the לֵבָב is the center of cognition, volition, and moral decision—not merely emotion. It represents the seat of covenant loyalty or rebellion, making "her inner heart" a reference to the deepest level of personal intention and spiritual orientation.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun in construct form (לְבָב) with 3rd feminine singular suffix (־הּ), yielding "her heart."
Rendering RationaleThe noun לֵבָב (masculine singular) denotes the inner heart—the core of thought, will, and emotion. The form is singular in construct with a 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix ("her"), so "her inner heart" preserves both the possessive feminine singular and the root sense of the heart as the inner core of a person.
