SIBI-P1 Translation H6440-26
before our face
| Morphological Notes | Common noun, plural form used as singular in construct state (פָנֵי) with prefixed לְ and 1st person common plural suffix (-נוּ): "to/before our face(s)." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun פָּנִים (face, surface, presence) derives from the root meaning "to turn" and denotes what is turned outward. With the preposition לְ and the 1st person common plural suffix, the form literally expresses position or orientation "to/before our face," preserving both the root imagery and the pronominal suffix. |
