SIBI-P1 H4616-04
for the sake of you (masculine plural)
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ ("for, toward") + noun מַעַן ("purpose, sake") functioning adverbially + 2nd person masculine plural pronominal suffix כֶם ("you"). |
| Rendering Rationale | מַעַן denotes purpose or intent arising from the idea of response or heed. The prefixed לְ expresses direction or aim ("for"), and the 2nd person masculine plural suffix כֶם specifies "you" as masculine plural. The rendering preserves both the teleological sense ("for the sake of") and the grammatical number and gender of the addressees. |
