to me
| Root | ל (l-) |
| Core Meanings | direction, movement toward, belonging, relation, purpose |
| Semantic Range | to me, for me, belonging to me, concerning me, as it relates to me |
| Conceptual Significance | The preposition ל is foundational in Biblical Hebrew for expressing covenantal orientation, purpose, possession, and relationship. When paired with personal suffixes, it often marks personal involvement, benefit, obligation, or devotion, highlighting relational dynamics between individuals and between humanity and יהוה. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ל with 1st person common singular pronominal suffix (HR/Sp1cs). The dagesh in לִּי reflects assimilation of the preposition before the suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the preposition ל ("to, toward, for") with the first person common singular pronominal suffix "-י" ("me"). The rendering "to me" preserves the directional and relational force of ל while accurately reflecting the 1cs suffix. |
