SIBI-P1 `H4931-13`

their guard-duties

Root	שמר (š-m-r)
Core Meanings	to guard, keep, watch, preserve, observe, attend carefully
Semantic Range	watch, guard-duty, charge, obligation to keep, observance, custodial responsibility, appointed service
Conceptual Significance	This term often denotes divinely appointed responsibilities—especially priestly or Levitical duties—emphasizing covenantal faithfulness expressed through careful guarding and observance of what YHWH has entrusted to His people.
Morphological Notes	Feminine plural noun in construct form (מִשְׁמְרוֹת) with 3mp pronominal suffix (-ם), indicating possession: "their." From the noun מִשְׁמֶרֶת, derived from the root שמר.
Rendering Rationale	The noun מִשְׁמֶרֶת derives from the root שמר, "to guard/keep," and denotes a charge, watch, or duty of guarding. The form is feminine plural construct with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix, hence "their guard-duties," preserving both the plural sense and the possessive "their."
