and heart-of
| Root | לבב (l-b-b) |
| Core Meanings | inner heart, inner being, mind, will, understanding, courage |
| Semantic Range | physical heart, inner self, mind, understanding, will, conscience, courage, seat of emotion and thought |
| Conceptual Significance | לֵבָב in biblical thought represents the core of the human person—the seat of thought, intention, desire, and moral decision-making. It unites intellect and emotion, portraying the inner covenantal center from which faithfulness or rebellion flows. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ + noun לְבַב (masculine common singular construct). No pronominal suffix; the construct state indicates possession or specification by a following noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form וּלְבַב consists of the conjunction וּ (“and”) prefixed to לְבַב in the masculine singular construct state. The construct form requires a following genitive (“heart of …”), so the rendering "and heart-of" preserves both the grammatical construct relationship and the singular masculine form while maintaining the root sense of the inner being. |
