SIBI-P1 H3058-03

YHWH‑Is‑He

Morphological NotesHebrew proper noun (HNp); masculine singular personal name. The form reflects a theophoric construction: יהו (Yahu, from יהוה) + הוא (he).
Rendering RationaleThe name יֵהוּא (masculine singular proper noun) combines a shortened form of the divine name יהוה (YHWH) with הוּא (“he”), built on the root היה (“to be”). Rendering it as “YHWH‑Is‑He” preserves both the verbal sense of being and the explicit masculine singular pronoun embedded in the name.
