Common Translation

SIBI-P1 Translation H4256-11
his assigned division
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine singular construct + 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from חלק, "to divide, apportion," and denotes a distinct unit or section separated out for function or allocation. The feminine singular construct form with a 3ms suffix yields "his assigned division," preserving both the root sense of apportionment and the possessive morphology. |
