SIBI-P1 H8034-23
name (memorial-identity)
| Root | שם (š-m) |
| Core Meanings | name, designation, reputation, renown, memorial identity |
| Semantic Range | personal name, designation, reputation, renown, authority, fame, memorial, character, established identity |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical thought, a "name" embodies the essence, character, and authority of a person. To act in someone’s name is to act under their authority; to call upon the Name of YHWH invokes His revealed character and covenant presence. The preservation or blotting out of a name signifies enduring legacy or total removal from communal memory. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun; typically appears in the construct state in these forms (HNcmsc), linking it to a following noun ("name of..."). One occurrence reflects a proper noun usage (HNp). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שֵׁם is a masculine singular common noun in the construct state (HNcmsc), so the rendering preserves singular number and masculine grammatical form. "Name (memorial-identity)" reflects the root idea of a marked, recognized identity that carries reputation and enduring remembrance, rather than a mere label. |
