his house

Rootבית (b-y-t)
Core Meaningshouse, household, family, tent, dwelling
Semantic RangeLiteral house/building; family/household; temple (God's house); dynasty/lineage; inner chamber/room; metaphorically, authority or stewardship (e.g., house of the king).
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical theology, בֵּיתוֹ symbolizes God's dwelling among His people (e.g., tabernacle/temple as 'house of Yahweh'), family covenant continuity (house of Jacob/Israel), and eschatological restoration of the scattered Israelites to their 'house' in the promised land, underscoring themes of belonging, inheritance, and divine hospitality.
Morphological NotesHNcmsc/Sp3ms: Noun, common gender, masculine, singular, construct state with 3ms pronominal suffix (וֹ); construct form בֵּית־ links to the following word, forming a genitive 'house of X'.
Rendering RationaleThe faithful rendering 'his house' directly reflects the morphology HNcmsc/Sp3ms, indicating a masculine singular construct noun (house of) with a 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix, preserving the grammatical gender, number, and person. It maintains the core root meaning of 'house' or 'household' as derived from the pictograph of a tent or family dwelling, emphasizing containment and family. This avoids generic translations and highlights the relational 'his' possession.
