SIBI-P1 H859-02
you (masculine singular)
| Root | אתה (ʾ-t-h) |
| Core Meanings | second person reference, direct address, personal identity |
| Semantic Range | you (masculine singular), yourself (masculine singular), emphatic or contrastive "you" in distinction from others |
| Conceptual Significance | This pronoun is central in covenantal and prophetic discourse, marking direct personal address between YHWH and an individual, or between speakers. Its explicit use often adds emphasis, highlighting responsibility, identity, or relational immediacy in the biblical text. |
| Morphological Notes | Independent personal pronoun; second person masculine singular (HPp2ms). Used for direct address, often for emphasis or contrast, since Hebrew verbs already encode person and number. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form אַתָּה is the independent second person masculine singular pronoun (HPp2ms). Rendering it as "you (masculine singular)" preserves the grammatical gender and number explicitly, reflecting the direct address to one male individual inherent in the Hebrew form. |
