SIBI-P1 H6106-25
in the very bone-of
| Root | עצם (ʿ-ṣ-m) |
| Core Meanings | strength, firmness, bone, substance, essence, selfsame |
| Semantic Range | literal bone; bodily frame; strength; substance or essence; self; the very same; exact point in time (idiomatically, "on that very day") |
| Conceptual Significance | עֶצֶם conveys the idea of what is firm and foundational—both physically (bone as structural strength) and conceptually (the essential core of a matter). In biblical usage, "in the bone-of" intensifies statements to mark decisive moments or exact identity, underscoring firmness, certainty, and embodied reality. |
| Morphological Notes | Prefixed preposition בְּ ("in") + noun עֶצֶם, common feminine singular construct (Ncfsc). The construct form links it to a following genitive (e.g., "day" in "in the bone-of this day"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֶצֶם (feminine singular construct) literally means "bone," derived from the root denoting strength and firmness. In construct with the prefixed preposition בְּ ("in"), it forms "in the bone-of," an idiom expressing essential substance or exactness ("the very selfsame"). The rendering preserves the singular construct form and the prefixed preposition while reflecting the root sense of "bone/essence." |
