in his own body

Rootגף (g-p̄)
Core Meaningsarch, back, body, physical frame, self
Semantic Rangeback, bodily frame, person, self; by extension, oneself or one’s own person
Conceptual SignificanceThis term emphasizes the embodied individuality of a person—acting or existing in one’s own physical self. In biblical narrative, such wording can stress personal responsibility, direct involvement, or solitary action.
Morphological NotesMasculine singular noun in construct form (גַּף) with 3ms pronominal suffix (־וֹ, “his”), preceded by the preposition בְּ (“in”).
Rendering RationaleThe noun גַּף (gaph) denotes the back or bodily frame, extended to mean the person himself. The form is masculine singular construct with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix, yielding “his body,” and with the prefixed preposition בְּ meaning “in,” thus “in his own body,” preserving both the physical imagery and the grammatical features.
