SIBI-P1 H6106-24

in his strong-bones

Rootעצם (ʿ-ṣ-m)
Core Meaningsstrength, firmness, bone, substance, essence, selfsame being
Semantic RangeBones of the body; physical strength; the inner or essential self; substance or essence; intensity ("very" or "selfsame").
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical thought, "bones" represent both physical strength and the inner core of a person. References to one’s bones often express deep vitality, suffering, or joy, pointing to the most inward and enduring aspect of human life.
Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ ("in") + noun feminine plural construct עַצְמוֹת + 3ms pronominal suffix ("his").
Rendering RationaleThe noun עֶצֶם derives from the root עצם, conveying strength or firmness, hence "bone" as the strong part of the body. The form is feminine plural construct with a 3rd masculine singular suffix and prefixed בְּ ("in"), so "in his strong-bones" preserves the plural form, the masculine singular possession ("his"), and the root sense of strength embedded in "bones."
