SIBI-P1 H8034-30
his name
| Root | שם (sh-m) |
| Core Meanings | name, designation, reputation, renown, memorial, authority |
| Semantic Range | personal name, reputation, fame, renown, character, authority, memorial, established identity |
| Conceptual Significance | In the biblical text, a "name" represents more than a label; it embodies a person’s character, authority, and enduring reputation. The divine Name signifies YHWH’s revealed identity and covenantal presence, while a human "name" reflects honor, legacy, and remembered deeds. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in construct form (שֵׁם) with 3ms pronominal suffix (־וֹ), literally "name of him." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שֵׁם means "name" in the sense of designation, reputation, or renown. The form is masculine singular construct with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix, yielding "his name," which preserves both the root sense of personal identity/reputation and the grammatical features of singular masculine possession. |
