SIBI-P1 H3820-32
heart
| Morphological Notes | Common noun, masculine singular (Ncmsa/Ncmsc). Occurs here without pronominal suffix; often appears with prefixed conjunction וְ or preposition בְ in the given surfaces. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun לֵב is a common masculine singular form (absolute or construct), so it is rendered simply as the singular “heart.” This preserves both the grammatical singularity and the root sense of the inner person—the seat of thought, will, and emotion in Hebrew anthropology. |
