SIBI-P1 H7453-14
your companion
| Root | רעה (r-ʿ-h) |
| Core Meanings | to pasture, tend, associate with, befriend, companionship |
| Semantic Range | friend, companion, associate, fellow, neighbor, intimate partner, fellow member of a community, sometimes "another" in reciprocal contexts |
| Conceptual Significance | רֵעַ expresses covenantal and communal relationship within Israelite society, especially in commands concerning one’s "neighbor." It frames ethical obligations not merely as social courtesy but as faithfulness within a shared life under YHWH. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in construct (רֵעַ) with 2ms pronominal suffix (־ךָ), yielding "your companion" addressed to a masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun רֵעַ derives from the root רעה, which conveys the idea of association and shared life (originally in the sense of pasturing together). As a masculine singular noun in construct with a 2nd masculine singular suffix ("your"), רֵעֲךָ is faithfully rendered "your companion," preserving both the relational core meaning and the singular possessive form. |
