in the heart of
| Root | לבב (l-b-b) |
| Core Meanings | heart, inner being, mind, will, inner core, center |
| Semantic Range | inner being, mind, understanding, will, emotions, conscience, courage, intention, the center or midst of something |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical anthropology, the לֵב is the seat of thought, intention, and moral decision-making—not merely emotion but the whole inner person. It represents the core from which faithfulness, wisdom, rebellion, or devotion flows, making it central to covenantal and ethical theology. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ ("in") + noun לֵב, masculine singular construct (Ncmsc). The construct form links the noun to a following genitive, indicating possession or specification ("heart of …"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun לֵב (masculine singular construct) derives from the root לבב, denoting the inner heart or core of a person. The prefixed preposition בְּ means "in," and the construct form requires a following complement, hence "in the heart of," preserving both the grammatical construct state and the root sense of the inner core. |
