SIBI-P1 Translation H6440-23
before his face
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ + plural-of-extension noun in construct פָּנֵי + 3ms pronominal suffix; masculine singular possessive. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun פָּנִים denotes the face or outward-facing presence (that which is turned outward), and with the prefixed לְ it expresses orientation toward or position before. The 3ms suffix ו marks possession, yielding "his face," thus "before his face." |
