SIBI-P1 H2396-01
Yah Strengthens
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (HNp). The form חִזְקִיָּה combines the verbal root חזק with the theophoric element יָהּ. Variants include extended forms with -וּ (חִזְקִיָּהוּ) and prefixed יְחִזְקִיָּה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name derives from the root חזק (to be strong, to strengthen) combined with יָהּ (Yah, a shortened form of the divine name). As a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), it denotes a male individual whose name confesses that "Yah strengthens" or "Yah has strengthened," preserving both the root meaning and grammatical gender. |
