SIBI-P1 Translation H1256-01
and Yahweh has created
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine personal name (Np) with prefixed conjunction וּ (“and”). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name derives from ברא (to create) combined with the theophoric element יה (Yahweh), forming the declarative meaning "Yahweh has created." The prefixed conjunction וּ is preserved as "and," and the proper name is rendered according to its root meaning rather than transliterated. |
