your lives
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine plural construct + 2mp pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is masculine plural in construct with a 2nd person masculine plural suffix, literally "lives of you." Rendering it as "your lives" preserves both the plural form and the life-root meaning from חיה. |
