their apportioned divisions
| Morphological Notes | Feminine plural noun in construct form (מַחְלְקוֹת) with 3rd person masculine plural suffix (-ָם), "their." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from חלק, "to divide, allot," and in the feminine plural construct with a 3mp suffix denotes multiple divisions belonging to them. "Apportioned divisions" preserves the root sense of assigned or distributed groups within a larger body. |
