SIBI-P1 H426-12
my Deity
| Root | אלה (ʾ-l-h) |
| Core Meanings | deity, godhood, divine power, object of worship |
| Semantic Range | God (the Most High), a false god, deity in general, object of worship, divine being |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical Aramaic contexts (e.g., Ezra, Daniel), אֱלָהּ often refers to the God of Israel in contrast to pagan deities. The personal suffix (“my”) expresses covenantal allegiance, personal trust, and relational devotion to the one true Deity. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic noun, common masculine singular construct (ANcmsc) with 1st person common singular pronominal suffix (Sp1cs): “God of me” → “my God/Deity.” |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אֱלָהּ (Aramaic) denotes a singular deity and is here in the masculine singular construct form with a first-person common singular suffix, yielding “my.” Rendering it as “my Deity” preserves the singular masculine sense and explicitly reflects the root idea of divinity or godhood inherent in אלה. |
