guard-duty of
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular noun in the construct state from מִשְׁמָר, formed with the nominal prefix מ indicating result or function; construct form links it to a following genitive noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root שמר (to guard, keep, watch) and denotes the act or responsibility of guarding or keeping. As a feminine singular construct form (HNcfsc), it expresses a relational idea, best rendered in English with "of" to reflect the construct chain—hence "guard-duty of." |
