SIBI-P1 H3091-03

and Yehovah-saves (Joshua)

Morphological NotesConjunction וִ (“and”) prefixed to a masculine singular proper noun (Np). Compound theophoric name formed from יהוה + a verbal form from ישע.
Rendering RationaleThe name יְהוֹשׁוּעַ combines the divine name יהוה (Yehovah) with the root ישע (“to save, deliver”). Rendering it as “Yehovah-saves” preserves the verbal force of the root while reflecting the masculine singular proper noun indicated by HC/Np, with the prefixed conjunction וִ rendered as “and.”
