SIBI-P1 H1320-11
his flesh
| Root | בשר (b-ś-r) |
| Core Meanings | flesh, soft tissue, body, kinship, mortal humanity |
| Semantic Range | physical flesh or meat; the human body; mortal humanity; blood-relations ("one’s own flesh"); by extension, human weakness or frailty |
| Conceptual Significance | בָּשָׂר emphasizes human mortality and creatureliness in contrast to the רוח (spirit) of God. It can denote both the physical substance of a person and kinship bonds, underscoring themes of embodied life, vulnerability, and shared humanity in the biblical worldview. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in construct form (בְּשַׂר) with 3ms pronominal suffix (-וֹ), literally "flesh of him." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בָּשָׂר denotes physical flesh or bodily substance. The form is masculine singular in construct with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix, yielding "his flesh," which preserves both the singular sense and the personal possession indicated in the Hebrew. |
