SIBI-P1 H4872-04

Drawn-Out-One

Morphological NotesMasculine singular proper noun (HNp). Personal name formed from the verbal root משׁה, likely functioning as a passive participial idea, "one who is drawn out."
Rendering RationaleThe name מֹשֶׁה (Môsheh) derives from the root משׁה, "to draw out," reflecting Exodus 2:10 where he is drawn out of the water. Rendering it as "Drawn-Out-One" preserves the passive sense of the Qal idea and reflects the masculine singular proper noun form (HNp).
