SIBI-P1 H3069-03
He-Is
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun (HNp), masculine singular; a vocalized variation of the Tetragrammaton used in contexts following אֲדֹנָי to avoid repetition in reading tradition. |
| Rendering Rationale | The divine name is widely understood to derive from the root היה ("to be"), reflecting the sense of ongoing, self-existent being. Rendering it as "He-Is" preserves the third person masculine singular sense embedded in the name while foregrounding the root meaning of existence and becoming. As a proper noun (HNp), it functions as a singular masculine name. |
