the plundered spoils
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular absolute with definite article (הַשָּׁלָל). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שָׁלָל derives directly from the verb שלל (“to plunder, carry off”), denoting what has been taken by force. The definite article הַ marks it as specific—“the”—and the singular masculine absolute form refers collectively to the plunder as a mass of seized goods. |
