SIBI-P1 H3091-04
YHWH-is-salvation
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew proper noun (masculine singular). A theophoric compound formed from יהוה (YHWH) + a form derived from ישע (to save). Appears as the personal name of Israel’s leader after Moses and others bearing the same name. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines the divine name יהוה (YHWH) with the verbal root ישע (to save, deliver). Rendering it as "YHWH-is-salvation" preserves both the theophoric element and the core saving meaning of the root, while reflecting that this is a masculine singular proper name (HNp). |
