SIBI-P1 H157-28
her loving-ones
| Root | אהב (ʾ-h-b) |
| Core Meanings | love, affection, desire, attachment, loyalty |
| Semantic Range | to love, to have affection for, to desire, to take pleasure in, to be attached to, to act as a loyal friend |
| Conceptual Significance | The root אהב expresses covenantal loyalty as well as emotional and relational attachment. It can describe human affection, erotic love, political alliances, and devotion to God, making it central to biblical theology of relationship and covenant faithfulness. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal participle masculine plural construct of אָהַב with 3fs suffix. The participle denotes ongoing or characteristic action: "those who are loving." The construct state binds the participle to the suffix "her." |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Qal masculine plural participle in construct with a 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix, literally "the ones loving her." Rendering it as "her loving-ones" preserves the active, ongoing sense of the participle and clearly reflects the plural subject and the feminine singular object ("her"). |
