her heart
| Root | לבב (l-b-b) |
| Core Meanings | heart, inner self, mind, will, understanding, center |
| Semantic Range | inner person, mind, understanding, will, emotions, conscience, courage, intention, the center or midst of something |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical anthropology, the "heart" is the core of human identity—where thoughts, intentions, moral decisions, and spiritual responsiveness reside. It represents the whole inner life before God, not merely emotions but intellect and volition as well. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in construct form (לִבָּ) with 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix (-הּ), literally "heart of her." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun לֵב (from the root לבב) denotes the inner heart—the seat of thought, will, and emotion. The morphology (masculine singular construct with 3rd feminine singular suffix) requires the rendering "her heart," accurately reflecting both the singular noun and the feminine singular possessive. |
