SIBI-P1 H8095-02
Heard-One
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (HNp). The form שִׁמְעוֹן (Shimʿon) is a theophoric-style personal name built from the root שמע, likely reflecting a Qal perfect 3ms sense ("he has heard") embedded in nominal form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name derives from the root שמע ("to hear"). In Genesis 29:33 Leah names him because "YHWH has heard," reflecting a passive sense—"heard." As a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), "Heard-One" preserves both the root meaning and the masculine singular form of the name. |
