SIBI-P1 H5656-13

for the service-work

Morphological NotesPreposition לְ with assimilated definite article (לַ) + noun עֲבֹדָה, common feminine singular absolute (Ncfsa).
Rendering RationaleThe noun עֲבֹדָה is a feminine singular form derived from the root עבד, expressing labor or service rendered. The prefixed לַ indicates purpose or direction ('for the'), and the singular feminine noun is preserved in the rendering as a singular concept—"service-work"—to reflect both its labor and service dimensions.
