SIBI-P1 H3824-21

your (masculine plural) inner heart

Rootלבב (l-b-b)
Core Meaningsheart, inner self, mind, will, inner core of thought and desire
Semantic Rangeinner self, mind, understanding, will, conscience, courage, intention, moral character
Conceptual SignificanceIn 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 NotesCommon 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 RationaleThe 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.
