In the counsel of Yah
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine singular personal name; formed from בְּ (in) + סוֹד (counsel, secret council) + יָהּ (Yah). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines the preposition בְּ ("in"), the noun סוֹד ("counsel, confidential circle"), and the theophoric element יָהּ ("Yah"). Rendering it as "In the counsel of Yah" preserves the root meaning of סוד and reflects the compound proper-name structure. |
