he himself
| Root | הוא (h-w-ʾ) |
| Core Meanings | third-person identity, self-reference, personal designation, demonstrative emphasis |
| Semantic Range | he, him, it (masculine), that one, the same, himself, this, that; occasionally functions as a copula ("he is") or as an emphatic marker. |
| Conceptual Significance | This pronoun frequently marks identity and emphasis in biblical discourse, especially in theological declarations (e.g., affirmations about YHWH: "He himself is God"). Its use can underscore personal agency, covenant identity, or exclusive divine self-revelation. |
| Morphological Notes | Independent personal pronoun; third person masculine singular; used for emphasis, contrast, identification, or as a copular substitute in verbless clauses. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is an independent third-person masculine singular pronoun (HPp3ms). Rendering it as "he himself" preserves the masculine singular reference and reflects its common emphatic or self-identifying force in Hebrew, where the pronoun is often used for emphasis or clarification. |
