SIBI-P1 H7453-07
to your companion
| Root | רעה (r-ʿ-h) |
| Core Meanings | association, companionship, fellowship, friendship, mutual relating |
| Semantic Range | friend, companion, associate, fellow, neighbor, intimate partner, sometimes husband or lover; can also denote another person in a reciprocal or legal sense. |
| Conceptual Significance | רֵעַ 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 Notes | Preposition 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 Rationale | The 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. |
