SIBI-P1 H2617-14
his covenant-loyalty
| Root | חסד (ḥ-s-d) |
| Core Meanings | loyalty, covenant devotion, steadfast love, kindness, faithful mercy |
| Semantic Range | steadfast love, covenant faithfulness, loyal kindness, mercy, gracious favor, pious devotion, occasionally reproach (by contrastive usage) |
| Conceptual Significance | חֶסֶד is a central covenant term describing enduring, relational loyalty—especially YHWH’s faithful commitment to His covenant people. It expresses not fleeting sentiment but steadfast, enacted devotion rooted in covenant relationship. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in construct state (חַסְדְּ) with 3ms pronominal suffix וֹ ("his"). From the root חסד. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֵסֶד denotes loyal, covenantal devotion rather than mere emotion. The form is masculine singular in construct with a 3rd person masculine singular suffix ("his"), so "his covenant-loyalty" preserves both the relational force of the root and the grammatical possession indicated by the suffix. |
