Morphological NotesFeminine singular noun in construct state (עֲבֹדַת) with 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix (-וֹ), yielding "his service/labor."
Rendering RationaleThe noun עֲבֹדָה derives from the root עבד, meaning to work or serve. As a feminine singular noun in construct form with a 3rd masculine singular suffix, it denotes "his" service or labor. "Service-labor" preserves the dual sense of work performed in service, reflecting the root’s full semantic force.
