their carved-images

Morphological NotesNoun common masculine plural in construct (עֲצַבֵּי) with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix (-הֶם), yielding "images of them" → "their images."
Rendering RationaleThe noun derives from the root עצב, which conveys shaping or fashioning (and by extension, the pain or toil involved). Rendering it as "carved-images" preserves the idea of something shaped or fashioned by human effort. The form is masculine plural construct with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix, accurately reflected in "their" and the plural "images."
