SIBI-P1 H6106-24
in his strong-bones
| Root | עצם (ʿ-ṣ-m) |
| Core Meanings | strength, firmness, bone, substance, essence, selfsame being |
| Semantic Range | Bones of the body; physical strength; the inner or essential self; substance or essence; intensity ("very" or "selfsame"). |
| Conceptual Significance | In 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 Notes | Preposition בְּ ("in") + noun feminine plural construct עַצְמוֹת + 3ms pronominal suffix ("his"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The 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." |
