SIBI-P1 H4899-03
the Anointed One
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common masculine singular absolute (Ncmsa) with prefixed definite article (הַ). Derived from the verbal root משׁח in a passive/resultative nominal pattern indicating one who has been anointed. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מָשִׁיחַ derives from the root משׁח (“to anoint”) and denotes one who has been anointed or consecrated. The morphology (definite article + masculine singular noun, absolute state) requires a definite, masculine singular rendering, hence "the Anointed One," preserving both the root sense of anointing and the grammatical form. |
