habitual fornications of
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine plural, construct state; derived from an intensive adjectival form of the root זנה functioning substantivally. |
| Rendering Rationale | The plural construct form reflects repeated or ongoing acts, consistent with the intensive nuance of זָנוּן derived from זנה. "Habitual fornications" preserves both the repetitive force and the root sense of sexual or covenantal unfaithfulness, while "of" reflects the construct state. |
