SIBI-P1 H2580-01
gracious favor
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state; no pronominal suffix; from the verbal root חנן. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֵן derives from the root חנן, "to show favor or be gracious." Rendering it as "gracious favor" preserves the active sense of bestowed kindness inherent in the root rather than a mere abstract quality. The form is masculine singular absolute (HNcmsa), reflected in the singular English noun. |
