SIBI-P1 H2710-01

in his inscribing

Rootחקק (ḥ-q-q)
Core Meaningsengraving, inscribing, carving, decreeing, enacting
Semantic Rangeto engrave, carve, inscribe, decree, enact, prescribe, appoint; by extension, to establish binding statutes or fixed boundaries
Conceptual Significanceחקק evokes the ancient practice of engraving laws or decrees into stone or metal, symbolizing permanence and authority. In biblical theology, it highlights the fixed and authoritative nature of divine decrees, portraying YHWH’s commands as firmly established and enduring.
Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ ("in/when") + verbal form from חקק (Qal stem sense) with 3ms pronominal suffix; the suffix indicates masculine singular possession or association ("his").
Rendering RationaleThe root חקק fundamentally means to engrave or inscribe, often with the extended sense of enacting or decreeing (as laws were engraved). The form בְּחֻקוֹ is understood as a preposition בְּ ("in/when") attached to a verbal form with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix, thus "in his inscribing," preserving both the engraving imagery of the root and the masculine singular reference.
