Morphological NotesHNcbpc/Sp3ms: H=Hebrew, N=Noun, c=construct state, b=both genders (common), p=plural, c=construct, S=with suffix, p3ms=third masculine singular suffix. The word פנים appears only in plural form in biblical Hebrew, though it frequently functions with singular meaning. The construct form פני- appears before pronominal suffixes.
Rendering RationaleThe morphology HNcbpc/Sp3ms indicates a masculine plural construct noun with a third masculine singular pronominal suffix, literally 'faces of him.' While English typically renders this idiomatically as 'his face' (treating the plural as a collective singular), a faithful rendering preserves the plural form that underlies the Hebrew, reflecting how פנים functions as a plural noun that often carries singular meaning. The suffix -ו (his) is third masculine singular, matching the pronominal reference.
