his faces

Root	אנף (ʾ-n-p̄)
Core Meanings	nose, face, countenance, anger
Semantic Range	face, countenance, visage, outward appearance; by extension disposition or anger (as related to the nose/face imagery).
Conceptual Significance	The "face" in biblical thought signifies presence, favor, or relational stance. Reference to one’s "faces" often conveys personal presence or emotional disposition, especially in covenantal or royal contexts.
Morphological Notes	Aramaic common masculine plural noun (construct or determined construct) + 3ms pronominal suffix; plural form used idiomatically as a singular, parallel to Hebrew אַף.
Rendering Rationale	The noun is morphologically masculine plural in construct with a 3ms pronominal suffix, literally "his faces." Although this Aramaic form functions idiomatically as a singular ("his face"), the faithful rendering preserves the plural morphology while reflecting the possessive suffix "his."
