SIBI-P1 Translation H3820-36
my inner core
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in construct state with 1st person common singular suffix ("my"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root לבב denoting the inner or central part of a person. With the 1st person singular pronominal suffix, it is rendered possessively as "my," and "inner core" preserves the root idea beyond merely the physical heart. |
