SIBI-P1 H5158-14
from the torrent-valleys of
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural noun in construct form (Ncmpc) from נַחַל, with prefixed preposition מִן ("from") assimilated to the following consonant (dagesh in נ). The construct form links the plural noun to a following genitive. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun נַחַל denotes a wadi or seasonal torrent-valley—land shaped by flowing waters. Rendering it as "torrent-valleys" preserves this root imagery of channelled flow. The prefixed מִן ("from") and the masculine plural construct form (נַחֲלֵי) are reflected in "from the … of," indicating plural construct relationship. |
