your heart-core

Rootלבב (l-b-b)
Core Meaningsheart, inner self, mind, will, inner person, center
Semantic RangeInner self, seat of emotions, will, intellect, conscience, courage, intention, moral character, or the physical heart; also metaphorically the center of something.
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical anthropology, the "heart" is the control center of the person—where covenant loyalty, wisdom, rebellion, and devotion originate. It encompasses thought, desire, and moral choice, making it central to Israel’s understanding of obedience and relationship with יהוה.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun in construct (לֵב > לִבְּ) with 2ms pronominal suffix ךָ; literally "heart of you" (masculine singular).
Rendering RationaleThe noun לֵב (from the root לבב) denotes the inner heart as the seat of thought, will, and emotion. The form is masculine singular in construct with a second masculine singular pronominal suffix, yielding "your heart" addressed to one male individual. "Heart-core" preserves the concrete imagery of the inner center while reflecting the singular possessed form.
