and your lack

Root	חסר (ḥ-s-r)
Core Meanings	lack, deficiency, diminution, need, deprivation
Semantic Range	lack, need, want, poverty, deprivation, insufficiency
Conceptual Significance	In biblical theology, "lack" often highlights human dependence on YHWH’s provision, whether material or spiritual. It can denote personal poverty, communal need, or covenantal consequence, underscoring the contrast between divine abundance and human insufficiency.
Morphological Notes	Conjunction וּ + masculine singular noun מַחְסוֹר in construct form + 2ms pronominal suffix ךָ, yielding "and your lack."
Rendering Rationale	The noun מַחְסוֹר derives from the root חסר, meaning "to lack" or "to be deficient." As a masculine singular noun in construct form with a 2nd masculine singular suffix, it literally means "the lack of you," hence "your lack," with the prefixed conjunction וּ meaning "and." This rendering preserves both the root sense of deficiency and the grammatical form.
