majesty
| Root | הוד (h-w-d) |
| Core Meanings | splendor, majesty, radiance, imposing beauty, regal dignity |
| Semantic Range | Splendor, majesty, glory, regal dignity, impressive beauty, stately honor—often describing divine or royal grandeur. |
| Conceptual Significance | הוֹד frequently describes the visible, awe-inspiring grandeur of YHWH or a king, often paired with הָדָר (splendor). It conveys not only abstract honor but the radiant, kingly presence that evokes reverence and worship. |
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew noun, common masculine singular (absolute or construct). No pronominal suffix. From an otherwise unused root conveying splendor or imposing form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun הוֹד is a masculine singular noun (absolute or construct), so it is rendered with a singular English noun. “Majesty” preserves the sense of radiant splendor and imposing dignity inherent in the root, reflecting the idea of visible, regal grandeur. |
