my shepherding one

Rootרעה (r-ʿ-h)
Core Meaningsto pasture, to tend, to shepherd, to graze, to feed
Semantic Rangeliteral shepherd of flocks; one who tends or feeds; figurative leader, ruler, caretaker; divine shepherd who guides and sustains
Conceptual SignificanceThe shepherd image is central in biblical theology, portraying kings and leaders as caretakers of the people and supremely depicting YHWH as the personal, guiding, and sustaining Shepherd of Israel (e.g., Psalm 23). The participial form emphasizes ongoing, attentive care.
Morphological NotesQal active participle masculine singular (רֹעֶה) in construct form with 1cs pronominal suffix: רֹעִי, "my shepherd." Functions substantivally as a noun derived from the participle.
Rendering RationaleThe form reflects the Qal active participle masculine singular with a 1st person common singular suffix, literally "my shepherding one." This preserves the verbal force of the root רעה (to pasture/tend) while accurately conveying the masculine singular participial form with the attached "my."
