SIBI-P1 H7453-07

to your companion

Rootרעה (r-ʿ-h)
Core Meaningsassociation, companionship, fellowship, friendship, mutual relating
Semantic Rangefriend, companion, associate, fellow, neighbor, intimate partner, sometimes husband or lover; can also denote another person in a reciprocal or legal sense.
Conceptual Significanceרֵעַ expresses covenantal and communal relationship within Israel’s social fabric. It underlies key ethical commands (e.g., loving one’s companion) and reflects the biblical vision of mutual responsibility and faithful relational conduct within the covenant community.
Morphological NotesPreposition לְ attached to a masculine singular noun in construct form (רֵעֶה > רֵעֶ), with 2ms pronominal suffix ךָ; functions as an indirect object or relational complement.
Rendering RationaleThe noun רֵעַ denotes one who is associated with another in companionship or fellowship. The form is masculine singular construct with a 2nd person masculine singular suffix, preceded by the preposition לְ (“to/for”), thus accurately rendered "to your companion," preserving both the relational root sense and the grammatical features.
