my servant
| Root | עבד (ʿ-b-d) |
| Core Meanings | work, labor, serve, bondage, service under authority |
| Semantic Range | servant, bond-servant, slave, royal official, subject, worshiper (as servant of God), vassal |
| Conceptual Significance | In the Hebrew Bible, the "servant" expresses covenantal loyalty and delegated authority. It can denote social status (slave or bondman), royal office (servant of the king), or theological identity (servant of YHWH), highlighting faithful service, submission, and chosen instrumentality within God’s redemptive purposes. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in construct form (עַבְדְּ־) with 1cs pronominal suffix (־ִי), yielding "my servant." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֶבֶד derives from the root עבד, meaning to work or serve, often in the sense of labor under authority or in bondage. The form עַבְדִּי is masculine singular construct with a first person common singular suffix, accurately rendered "my servant," preserving both the relational possession and the singular masculine sense of one who serves. |
