SIBI-P1 Translation H1954-04
and Deliverance
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ ("and") + masculine singular proper name; hypocoristic theophoric form from ישע. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name הוֹשֵׁעַ derives from the root ישע, "to deliver, save, rescue," and is a theophoric personal name meaning "deliverance" or "Yahweh delivers." The prefixed conjunction וְ is preserved as "and," and the rendering keeps the root sense visible rather than substituting a conventional English name form. |
