his striking-down

Morphological NotesHiphil infinitive construct with prefixed definite article and 3ms pronominal suffix ("his"). The Hiphil stem carries a causative nuance: to cause to strike or strike down.
Rendering RationaleThe form is a Hiphil infinitive construct of נכה with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix, literally "his causing-to-strike." Rendering it "his striking-down" preserves the root idea of forceful smiting while reflecting the singular action and the masculine singular possessive suffix.
