SIBI-P1 H8034-06
in my name
| Root | שם (š-m) |
| Core Meanings | name, reputation, renown, memorial, authority, identity |
| Semantic Range | personal name, reputation, fame, renown, authority, character, memorial, the invoked presence of someone |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical thought, a "name" embodies the character, authority, and active presence of a person. To act "in my name" signifies acting under one’s authority and representing one’s revealed identity, a concept central to covenantal loyalty and divine representation. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ ("in") + noun שֵׁם (common masculine singular construct) + 1cs pronominal suffix ("my"). The construct form links the noun directly to the attached suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שֵׁם ("name") denotes one’s identity, reputation, and authoritative standing. In construct with the 1st person common singular suffix and prefixed by בְּ ("in"), the form literally means "in my name," expressing action carried out within or under the sphere of my own identity and authority. |
