SIBI-P1 H3899-14
her bread-sustenance
| Root | לחם (l-ḥ-m) |
| Core Meanings | bread, food, sustenance, provision |
| Semantic Range | Literal bread, grain for making bread, food in general, provisions, sustenance, and by extension livelihood or that which sustains life. |
| Conceptual Significance | Bread is the primary staple of life in the biblical world, symbolizing daily provision, dependence on God, covenant fellowship (as in shared bread), and the basic sustenance granted by YHWH. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in construct form (לַחְם־) with 3rd feminine singular suffix (־הּ), meaning "her bread/food." |
| Rendering Rationale | לֶחֶם denotes bread as the fundamental staple and by extension food or sustenance in general. The form לַחְמָהּ is singular in construct with a 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix, hence "her." Rendering it "her bread-sustenance" preserves the concrete sense of bread while reflecting its broader sense of personal provision. |
