to YHWH-knows

Morphological NotesProper masculine singular noun (Np) with prefixed preposition לִ ("to"). The name is a theophoric compound of יהוה + ידע in a verbal form conveying "YHWH knows."
Rendering RationaleThe name יְהוֹיָדָע combines the divine name יהוה (YHWH) with the root ידע (to know), yielding the meaning "YHWH knows" or "YHWH has known." The prefixed לִ ("to") is preserved in the rendering, and as a masculine singular proper noun (Np), the form refers to one specific male individual.
