SIBI-P1 H3820-11
their inner heart
| Root | לבב (l-b-b) |
| Core Meanings | heart, inner being, mind, will, understanding, courage |
| Semantic Range | inner self, mind, understanding, will, intention, conscience, courage, emotional center, moral disposition, the midst or core of something |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical anthropology, the לֵב is the center of cognition, volition, and emotion—not merely feelings but the seat of decision and moral response. It represents the true inner orientation of a person or people before YHWH, making "their inner heart" a key indicator of covenant faithfulness or rebellion. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in construct form (לֵב > לִבָּ) with 3rd masculine plural pronominal suffix (־ם), literally "heart of them." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun לֵב (from the root לבב) denotes the inner heart—the seat of thought, will, and emotion. The morphology is masculine singular construct with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix ("their"), so the rendering preserves the singular noun ("heart," not "hearts") while clearly marking possession: "their inner heart." |
