the written record
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular absolute with definite article (הַסֵּפֶר). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun סֵפֶר derives from ספר, denoting the product of recounting or recording—thus a written document or record. The definite article הַ marks it as definite, and the masculine singular absolute form is preserved in the singular rendering. |
