in exceeding measure

Rootמאד (m-ʾ-d)
Core Meaningsabundance, might, force, vehemence, intensity
Semantic Rangeexceedingly, very, greatly, mightily, utterly, intensely, in great measure; often serves as an intensifier and may form superlatives, especially when repeated.
Conceptual Significanceמְאֹד frequently amplifies covenantal commands and descriptions (e.g., loving YHWH "with all your might"), expressing totality and wholehearted intensity. It conveys not mere degree but fullness of force or devotion in action or state.
Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ ("in/with") prefixed to the adverbial noun מְאֹד; functions adverbially to intensify the accompanying verb or adjective.
Rendering RationaleThe form בִּמְאֹד combines the preposition בְּ ("in/with") with מְאֹד, a noun/adverb denoting force or abundance. Rendering it as "in exceeding measure" preserves the sense of intensity inherent in the root while reflecting the prefixed preposition.
