SIBI-P1 H3824-22
your (masculine plural) inner heart
| Root | לבב (l-b-b) |
| Core Meanings | heart, inner self, mind, will, inner core of thought and desire |
| Semantic Range | inner self, mind, understanding, will, conscience, courage, intention, moral character |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical thought, the "heart" is the seat of cognition, volition, and moral response—not merely emotion. It represents the center of covenant loyalty or rebellion, where remembrance, obedience, and devotion to יהוה are formed. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in construct (לְבַב) with 2mp pronominal suffix (-כֶם), yielding "heart of you (mp)." Though grammatically singular, it often functions collectively for a group’s inner disposition. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun לֵבָב (heart) denotes the inner core of thought, will, and desire. The form is masculine singular in construct with a 2nd person masculine plural suffix, indicating one collective "heart" belonging to a group of men; the rendering preserves both the singular noun and the masculine plural possessive. |
