SIBI-P1 H2837-02
my attachment-delight
| Root | חשק (ḥ-š-q) |
| Core Meanings | to bind, attach, cling to, desire, take pleasure in |
| Semantic Range | desire, longing, affectionate attachment, delight, pleasure, devoted attraction |
| Conceptual Significance | The root חשק often expresses deep, covenantal attachment—especially of YHWH setting His love upon His people (e.g., Deut 7:7). It conveys not fleeting emotion but a binding, chosen attachment that shapes covenant identity and loyalty. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun (construct form) from חֵשֶׁק with 1cs pronominal suffix; literally "desire/attachment of me," functioning as "my desire/attachment." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֵשֶׁק derives from the root חשק, conveying the idea of binding oneself in desire or attachment. The form חִשְׁקִי is a masculine singular noun in construct with a 1st person common singular suffix, thus "my attachment/delight." The rendering "my attachment-delight" preserves both the root sense of binding desire and the singular first-person possession indicated by the morphology. |
