inheritance of
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine singular noun in construct state (HNcfsc) from נַחֲלָה. The construct form נַחֲלַת links the noun to a following genitive ("inheritance of X"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun נַחֲלַת is the feminine singular construct form of נַחֲלָה, derived from the root נחל, which conveys the act of inheriting or allotting property. Rendering it as "inheritance of" preserves the core idea of a received or allotted possession while reflecting the construct state, which grammatically requires a following possessor. |
