heart of

Rootלבב (l-b-b)
Core Meaningsheart, inner core, inner man, mind, will, seat of understanding and desire
Semantic RangeInner organ; inner self; mind; understanding; will; emotions; courage; conscience; intention; the center or midst of something.
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical thought, the לֵב is the center of a person’s intellectual, volitional, and emotional life—not merely the seat of feelings but of thought and moral decision. It represents the inner core from which obedience, rebellion, wisdom, and faithfulness flow.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun in construct state from the root לבב. The shorter form לֵב functions interchangeably with לֵבָב but often appears in construct.
Rendering RationaleThe form לֵב is a masculine singular noun in the construct state (HNcmsc), requiring a following genitive (“heart of …”). Rendering it as "heart of" preserves both the root sense of the inner core (לבב) and the grammatical construct relationship indicated by the morphology.
