SIBI-P1 H3097-04
and Yoab (YHWH-is-Father)
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ ("and") prefixed to a masculine singular proper noun (Np). The name is a theophoric compound formed from יהוה and אָב. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name יוֹאָב is a compound of the divine Name (יהוה) and אָב (father), expressing the confession that "YHWH is Father" or "YHWH has fathered." The prefixed וְ is the conjunction "and," and the proper noun is masculine singular, so the rendering preserves both the conjunction and the singular male personal name while making the root meaning explicit. |
