SIBI-P1 H4940-14
according to his clan-branches
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ל + noun feminine plural construct (מִשְׁפְּחֹת) + 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix; functions adverbially to indicate distribution or classification by family units. |
| Rendering Rationale | מִשְׁפָּחָה denotes a family group understood as a branching-out from a common ancestor, reflecting the root idea of spreading or extending. The form is feminine plural construct with a 3ms suffix and prefixed ל, so "according to his clan-branches" preserves the plural feminine sense and the possessive "his." |
