SIBI-P1 H835-01
his happinesses
| Root | אשר (ʾ-š-r) |
| Core Meanings | straightness, advancement, rightness, happiness, blessedness |
| Semantic Range | happiness, blessedness, fortunate state, enviable condition, flourishing |
| Conceptual Significance | This word introduces biblical beatitudes (e.g., in Psalms and Proverbs), declaring the enviable and flourishing condition of one aligned with YHWH’s ways. It frames covenant faithfulness not merely as duty but as the path to true and abundant well-being. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural noun in construct form (אַשְׁרֵי/אַשְׁרָי) with 3ms pronominal suffix; a frozen beatitude formula derived from the root אשר and used as an exclamatory declaration of blessedness. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a masculine plural noun in construct with a 3rd masculine singular suffix ("-his"), literally "his happinesses." The plural expresses an intensified or abundant state of happiness, and the 3ms suffix is preserved explicitly as "his." |
