Persecuted One
| Root | איב (ʾ-y-b) |
| Core Meanings | enmity, hostility, hatred, opposition, persecution |
| Semantic Range | personal name; one who is hated, opposed, treated as an enemy; by association, one who endures severe trial or persecution |
| Conceptual Significance | Job embodies the righteous sufferer—one who, though upright, becomes the object of intense affliction and hostility. His name, linked to enmity and persecution, underscores the paradox of a faithful servant experiencing profound adversity, forming the theological foundation of the book’s exploration of suffering, justice, and steadfast trust in Elohim. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (HNp); personal name with no pronominal suffixes or inflectional markers in the cited forms. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name אִיּוֹב (ʼÎyôwb) is traditionally connected to the root איב (ʾ-y-b), meaning "to be hostile" or "to treat as an enemy." Rendering it as "Persecuted One" preserves this root sense of hostility directed toward someone. As a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), the rendering reflects a singular male individual bearing this meaning as a personal designation. |
