SIBI-P1 Translation H6440-25
before your face
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ + plural noun פָּנִים in construct + 2ms pronominal suffix; masculine singular addressee. |
| Rendering Rationale | The construct plural פָּנֵי with 2ms suffix yields "your face/presence," and the prefixed לְ marks orientation toward or before it. "Before your face" preserves the root idea of what is turned outward while reflecting the second masculine singular suffix. |
