the apportioned gift-offering
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common feminine singular absolute (Ncfsa) with prefixed definite article (הַ). The form is singular and definite: "the מִנְחָה." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִנְחָה derives from a root conveying the idea of apportioning or bestowing a gift. Rendering it "the apportioned gift-offering" preserves this core sense of a designated or allotted present, while reflecting the definite article ("the") and the feminine singular absolute form indicated by the morphology. |
