SIBI-P1 H1931-03
that same one (he)
| Root | הוא (h-w-ʾ) |
| Core Meanings | third-person reference, identity, selfhood, sameness, demonstrative identification |
| Semantic Range | he, that one, the same, that same one, himself, it (masc.), demonstrative "that," emphatic subject, substitute for "is/are" in verbless clauses |
| Conceptual Significance | This pronoun, especially with the article, often marks emphasis, identity, or continuity—highlighting that a specific person or thing is the very same one previously mentioned. In biblical theology it can underscore divine identity ("He is YHWH"), covenant continuity, or emphatic contrast between persons or objects. |
| Morphological Notes | Definite article הַ + independent personal pronoun הוּא (3rd person masculine singular). Used emphatically, demonstratively, or as a copular substitute. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form combines the definite article with the third-person masculine singular pronoun, creating an emphatic demonstrative sense. "That same one (he)" preserves the masculine singular reference (3ms) while reflecting the force of the article, which often intensifies the pronoun to mean "that very one" or "the same." |
