| Root | רעה (r-ʿ-h) |
| Core Meanings | association, companionship, fellowship, mutual dealing |
| Semantic Range | friend, companion, fellow, associate, neighbor, intimate partner, fellow member of a community, sometimes husband or lover depending on context |
| Conceptual Significance | רֵעַ expresses covenantal and communal proximity—one who stands in lived relationship with another. In the Torah, loving one’s רֵעַ becomes a central ethical command, grounding interpersonal responsibility within Israel’s covenant life. |
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew noun common masculine singular construct (רֵעֶ) with 2ms pronominal suffix (ךָ), yielding "your companion." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun רֵעַ denotes one bound to another by association or companionship. The form is masculine singular in construct with a 2nd masculine singular suffix ("your"), so the rendering preserves both the singular sense ("companion-associate") and the direct address to a male individual ("your"). |
