to her
| Root | ל (l-) |
| Core Meanings | movement toward, direction to, belonging to, for the benefit of |
| Semantic Range | to her, toward her, for her, belonging to her, with respect to her, against her (in hostile contexts) |
| Conceptual Significance | This small but frequent form marks direction, possession, or benefit toward a feminine referent, often signaling relational dynamics in narrative and legal texts. Its use helps track agency, covenantal responsibility, and interpersonal movement within the biblical story. |
| Morphological Notes | Inseparable preposition ל with 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix (-הּ). The qamets marks the suffixed form; dagesh in הּ indicates the consonantal suffix. Parsed as HR/Sp3fs. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form לָהּ consists of the preposition ל ("to, toward, for") with a 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix. "To her" accurately preserves both the directional/benefactive sense of ל and the feminine singular object indicated by the suffix. |
