to Koresh (Cyrus)
| Root | כורש (k-w-r-sh) |
| Core Meanings | proper royal name, Persian kingly title, Koresh (Cyrus) |
| Semantic Range | Refers specifically to Cyrus II of Persia (Cyrus the Great), the ruler of the Persian Empire who conquered Babylon; in context may denote his authority, reign, decree, or patronage. |
| Conceptual Significance | Koresh (Cyrus) is portrayed as the divinely appointed foreign ruler through whom YHWH restores the exiles to Judah (Isaiah 44–45; Ezra 1). His name signifies the historical pivot from exile to restoration, highlighting YHWH’s sovereignty over nations and kings. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ (lamed) prefixed to a masculine singular proper noun (Np). The name is of Persian origin and functions as a personal royal name. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form includes the preposition לְ ("to/for"), attached to the masculine singular proper noun כּוֹרֶשׁ (Koresh). Rendering it as "to Koresh (Cyrus)" preserves the directional sense of לְ and retains the historical personal name rather than replacing it with a generalized title. |
