SIBI-P1 H998-03
your discernment
| Root | בין (b-y-n) |
| Core Meanings | to separate, to distinguish, to discern, to understand, insight through differentiation |
| Semantic Range | understanding, discernment, insight, intelligence, skill in distinguishing, perceptive wisdom |
| Conceptual Significance | בִּינָה represents the God-given capacity to distinguish between truth and falsehood, right and wrong. In biblical thought, such discernment is foundational to wisdom and covenant faithfulness, enabling one to perceive the order and intent embedded in creation and Torah. |
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine singular noun in construct form (בִּינַת) with a 2nd masculine singular pronominal suffix (ךָ), yielding "your (ms) discernment." Occurs once in this form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בִּינָה (bîynâh) derives from the root בין, which conveys the act of separating or distinguishing in order to understand. "Discernment" preserves this root sense of insight gained through differentiation, and "your" reflects the second masculine singular pronominal suffix attached to the feminine singular noun in construct form. |
