to your companion
| Root | רעה (r-ʿ-h) |
| Core Meanings | companionship, association, fellowship, friendship, mutual relationship |
| Semantic Range | friend, companion, associate, fellow, neighbor, intimate partner, covenant partner, fellow citizen |
| Conceptual Significance | This term expresses covenantal and communal responsibility within Israel. It frames interpersonal ethics—love, justice, honesty—not as abstract duties but as obligations toward one’s relational counterpart within the covenant community. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ (“to/for”) + masculine singular construct noun רֵעַ + 2ms pronominal suffix ךָ (“your,” masculine singular). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun רֵעַ denotes one bound to another in association or companionship. The form is masculine singular construct with a 2nd masculine singular pronominal suffix and prefixed לְ (“to/for”), yielding “to your companion,” addressing a male individual and preserving the relational sense of the root. |
