SIBI-P1 H4899-03

the Anointed One

Morphological NotesNoun, 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 RationaleThe 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.
