by my Spirit-wind
| Root | רוח (r-w-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | wind, breath, spirit, animating force, invisible power |
| Semantic Range | wind, breath, life-force, inner disposition, courage, anger, divine Spirit, animating or empowering presence |
| Conceptual Significance | רוּחַ bridges physical wind and divine empowerment, portraying YHWH’s active, life-giving, and sustaining presence. When used with a first-person suffix, it emphasizes the personal, dynamic agency of God acting through His own animating Spirit. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ ("by/in") + feminine singular noun רוּחַ in construct with 1cs pronominal suffix ("my"). The noun is grammatically feminine singular; the suffix marks first person common singular possession. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun רוּחַ (rûaḥ) carries the core sense of wind or breath as an animating, unseen force, extended to spirit. The form is feminine singular with a first person common singular suffix ("my"), preceded by the preposition בְּ ("by/in"), thus "by my Spirit-wind," preserving both the possessive and the root’s concrete imagery of moving air as life-power. |
