SIBI-P1 H3824-24
my inmost heart
| Root | לבב (l-b-b) |
| Core Meanings | heart, inner being, mind, will, courage, inner self |
| Semantic Range | the physical heart; the inner self; mind; understanding; will; intention; courage; moral character; the seat of emotion and devotion |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical thought, the לֵבָב is the core of human identity—the center of thought, decision, loyalty, and worship. It represents the integrated inner life before God, from which obedience or rebellion flows. |
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew noun, common masculine singular in construct (לְבָב) with 1cs pronominal suffix (-ִי), literally "heart of me." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun לֵבָב denotes the inner heart as the seat of thought, will, and emotion. The form is masculine singular construct with a 1st person common singular suffix, meaning "my heart"; rendering it "my inmost heart" preserves both the possessive morphology and the root idea of the interior, central self. |
