H3163 noun

SILEX Entry

Root יחד to unite, join, be together

Definition

An adverb meaning 'together, simultaneously, in union,' expressing the idea of simultaneity or joint action among multiple subjects. In certain cases occurs as a personal form (with pronominal suffix), indicating '(all) together with him.' Also attested as a personal name, likely derived from the concept of unity.

Semantic Range

together, simultaneously, in unity with him, all together with him, as a proper name 'Yachdô' referring to an Israelite

Root / Etymology

Derived from the root יחד (y-ḥ-d), meaning 'to be united, to be together.' יַחְדוֹ (yachdô) is the adverbial form of יַחַד (yachad, 'together'), with a third masculine singular pronominal suffix ('his' or 'with him'), yielding 'together with him' or 'simultaneously with him.' The personal name use is directly related to this semantic field of unity or togetherness.

Historical & Contextual Notes

The adverb יַחְדוֹ appears primarily in poetic and formal narrative contexts, emphasizing group activity or shared experience. Its suffix form distinguishes it from the basic יַחַד, which also means 'together' but lacks personal specificity. In post-exilic Hebrew, togetherness terms such as יַחַד and יַחְדוֹ persist, though usage shifts as more analytic constructions emerge. As a personal name (Yachdô), the expression likely indicates birth circumstances or desired communal quality. English translations ('together,' 'in unity with him') generally capture the sense, but may obscure the pronominal nuance.

Original Strong's Gloss (1890)

from יַחַד with pronominal suffix; his unity, i.e. (adverb) together; Jachdo, an Israelite; Jahdo.
