to Mosheh (the Drawn-Out One)

Rootמשׁה (m-š-h)
Core Meaningsdraw out, pull out, extract, rescue from water
Semantic RangeRefers specifically to Mosheh, the Israelite leader and lawgiver; in context may denote direction ("to"), benefit ("for"), possession, or relation depending on syntactic usage of לְ.
Conceptual SignificanceMosheh, whose name recalls being "drawn out" from the waters, becomes the one through whom Israel is drawn out from bondage. His name encapsulates the theme of divine rescue and mediation central to the Exodus and covenant revelation.
Morphological NotesPreposition לְ ("to/for") + masculine singular proper noun מֹשֶׁה (Mosheh). No pronominal suffix; direction or indirect object indicated by לְ.
Rendering RationaleThe form לְמֹשֶׁה consists of the preposition לְ ("to/for") prefixed to the masculine singular proper name מֹשֶׁה. The name derives from the root משׁה ("to draw out"), reflecting Exodus 2:10; rendering it "Mosheh (the Drawn-Out One)" preserves both the root meaning and the singular masculine proper noun form, while "to" reflects the prefixed preposition.
