and his name

Rootשם (š-m)
Core Meaningsname, mark, designation, reputation, renown, authority
Semantic Rangepersonal name, title, reputation, fame, memorial, authority, character, standing
Conceptual SignificanceIn the Hebrew Bible, a "name" signifies more than a label; it embodies identity, character, authority, and enduring reputation. To speak of someone’s "name" is to refer to their revealed nature and standing, especially in reference to the Name of יהוה, which represents His presence and covenantal authority.
Morphological NotesConjunction וְ + noun שֵׁם (common masculine singular construct) + 3ms pronominal suffix "-וֹ" ("his"). The construct form binds the noun to the suffix, yielding "his name."
Rendering RationaleThe noun שֵׁם denotes a "name" in the sense of an identifying mark, reputation, or standing. The form is masculine singular with a 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix, preceded by the conjunction וְ ("and"), thus "and his name," preserving both the root sense and the grammatical details.
