SIBI-P1 H905-15
to his apartness (by himself)
| Root | בדד (b-d-d) |
| Core Meanings | separation, isolation, apartness, withdrawal |
| Semantic Range | separation, isolation, alone, by oneself, apart from others; in other contexts: branch, bar, part, staff |
| Conceptual Significance | The term emphasizes separateness—whether physical solitude, exclusive devotion, or divine uniqueness. It can underscore themes of covenantal exclusivity (YHWH alone), individual responsibility, or the experience of isolation in judgment or lament. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ + masculine singular noun בַּד in construct form + 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix (“his”). Functions adverbially to express solitary action or state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בַּד (“apartness, separation”) appears in the masculine singular construct with a 3ms pronominal suffix and prefixed לְ (“to/for”), literally “to his apartness.” This preserves both the root sense of separation (בדד) and the masculine singular suffix, while conveying the idiomatic meaning “by himself.” |
