ʻetsem
and like the substance
Bone; by extension, a bodily frame or skeleton; figuratively, the essential substance or core of something (essence, self, strength, very). 'Etsem' primarily denotes an anatomical bone, but it also serves as a metaphor for the foundational or substantive part of a person, thing, or group—what is essential, enduring, or identical to itself. In some contexts it functions as an intensifier (e.g., 'the very same day').

and as bone-of
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + preposition כְ + feminine singular noun in construct state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֶצֶם fundamentally denotes a "bone" as the strong structural element of the body, derived from the root meaning "to be strong." The construct state requires the relational sense "of," and the prefixed conjunction and preposition are rendered as "and as." |
