SIBI-P1 H7522-09
his pleasure-will
| Root | רצה (r-ṣ-h) |
| Core Meanings | to be pleased, to accept favorably, to delight in, to show favor |
| Semantic Range | delight, pleasure, favor, acceptance, goodwill, desire, voluntary will, what is pleasing or acceptable |
| Conceptual Significance | רָצוֹן often denotes what is pleasing either to God or to a human authority, linking inner delight with outward acceptance. The term bridges emotion and intention—what one favors inwardly becomes what one wills or approves outwardly—making it significant in expressions of divine favor and human devotion. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in construct form with a 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix; literally "the pleasure/will of him." |
| Rendering Rationale | רָצוֹן derives from the verb רצה, "to be pleased with" or "to accept favorably." As a masculine singular noun with a 3ms suffix, רְצוֹנוֹ means "his pleasure" or "his will"—that which he delights in or favors. The rendering "his pleasure-will" preserves both the affective sense of delight and the volitional sense of will inherent in the root, while accurately reflecting the 3ms possessive suffix ("his"). |
