SIBI-P1 H4577-01
his inward parts
| Root | מעה (m-ʿ-h) |
| Core Meanings | inward parts, bowels, intestines, inner organs |
| Semantic Range | physical intestines or belly; the inner organs; figuratively the seat of deep emotions such as compassion, anguish, or affection |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical anthropology, the "inward parts" were viewed as the seat of deep emotions and visceral responses. Thus, beyond physical anatomy, the term can signify profound inner feeling, especially compassion or distress. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic common masculine plural noun in construct form with a 3ms pronominal suffix (ANcmpc/Sp3ms). The plural form reflects the typical Hebrew/Aramaic usage of "bowels" as a plural noun for internal organs. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root מ־ע־ה, referring to the inner organs or bowels. The form is masculine plural in construct with a 3rd person masculine singular suffix ("of him"), thus "his inward parts," preserving both the plural sense and the possessive suffix. |
