exultant gladness
| Root | שושׂ (ś-w-ś) |
| Core Meanings | to exult, to rejoice, to delight greatly, exuberant joy |
| Semantic Range | joy, gladness, rejoicing, delight, mirth, celebratory happiness, welcome festivity |
| Conceptual Significance | Often paired with שִׂמְחָה (gladness), שָׂשׂוֹן emphasizes exuberant, outwardly expressed joy—frequently in contexts of salvation, restoration, covenant blessing, or divine presence, marking communal celebration of YHWH’s redemptive acts. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcmsa); abstract noun formed from the verbal root שושׂ, expressing a state or quality of rejoicing. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the verb שׂוּשׂ (to exult or rejoice exuberantly). "Exultant gladness" preserves the sense of active, overflowing joy inherent in the root while reflecting the masculine singular absolute noun form (HNcmsa) without adding plurality or possession. |
