SIBI-P1 H2617-01

by the covenant-loyalty

Rootחסד (ḥ-s-d)
Core Meaningsloyalty, covenant devotion, steadfast love, faithful kindness
Semantic Rangesteadfast love, covenant faithfulness, loyal devotion, mercy, kindness, benevolence, favor, occasionally reproach (in rare contexts)
Conceptual Significanceחֶסֶד is a central covenant term describing faithful, enduring loyalty within committed relationships—especially YHWH’s steadfast devotion to His people and the expected reciprocal loyalty among covenant partners.
Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ ("in/by") with assimilated definite article + masculine singular noun חֶסֶד in the absolute state.
Rendering RationaleThe noun חֶסֶד is masculine singular absolute, here with the prefixed preposition בְּ and the definite article ("in/by the"). "Covenant-loyalty" preserves the root sense of steadfast, relational faithfulness rather than mere emotion, and the singular form reflects the singular masculine noun.
