Morphological NotesHebrew noun, common masculine plural construct (שָׂרֵי) with 3ms pronominal suffix (־ו), yielding "his princes."
Rendering RationaleThe noun שַׂר derives from the root שרר, conveying the idea of ruling or exercising dominion. The form is masculine plural construct with a 3rd person masculine singular suffix, thus "his ruling-princes," preserving both the governing sense of the root and the grammatical markers of number, gender, and possession.
