your father

Rootאב (ʾ-b)
Core Meaningsfatherhood, source, origin, ancestor, chief, patron
Semantic Rangebiological father; ancestor; forefather; patriarch; clan leader; founder; source or originator; chief or principal figure
Conceptual Significanceאָב expresses not only biological paternity but covenantal continuity, inheritance, authority, and identity within Israel. One’s "father" represents lineage, tradition, blessing, and accountability within the household and the broader covenant community.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun in construct (אָבִי) + 2ms pronominal suffix (ךָ), literally "father of you" (masculine singular).
Rendering RationaleThe noun אָב (ʾâb) means "father" in both literal and extended senses. The form אָבִיךָ is masculine singular in construct with a 2nd person masculine singular pronominal suffix, yielding "your father" when addressed to a male individual. The rendering preserves the singular number and direct filial relationship inherent in the Hebrew form.
