The Identity Within: Pronouns and Pronominal Suffixes in Biblical Hebrew
Pronouns in Biblical Hebrew are more than grammatical tools—they are relational anchors that express identity, possession, emphasis, and divine presence. Independent pronouns like אָנֹכִי highlight contrast or covenantal authority, while pronominal suffixes on nouns, verbs, and prepositions encode intimacy and grammatical precision. From סִפְרוֹ (“his book”) to רְאִיתִיו (“I saw him”), these forms shape narrative flow and theological depth. In divine speech, pronouns affirm ownership and self-revelation, making Hebrew grammar a vessel of relational meaning.
