SIBI-P1 Translation H3101-01
to Yahweh-supports
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ ('to/for') + masculine singular proper name (theophoric, contracted form of יְהוֹאָשׁ). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the preposition לְ ('to/for') prefixed to the masculine proper name יוֹאָשׁ, a contracted theophoric name meaning 'Yahweh supports' from the root אוש. The rendering preserves both the prefixed preposition and the root-based verbal sense embedded in the name. |
