SIBI-P1 H929-42
and for the mute-beast
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ (and) + preposition לְ with definite article (לַ, "for/to the") + noun בְּהֵמָה, common feminine singular absolute. Though grammatically singular, it often functions as a collective noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בְּהֵמָה likely derives from a root conveying muteness or speechlessness, hence "mute-beast," preserving the conceptual link to an animal lacking human speech. The form is feminine singular absolute with the prefixed conjunction וְ ("and") and preposition לַ ("for/to the" with definite article), which is reflected in the rendering "and for the mute-beast." |
