SIBI-P1 Translation H2708-08
his inscribed statutes
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine plural construct + 3rd person masculine singular suffix ("his"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֻקָּה derives from חקק, "to inscribe, engrave," emphasizing a formally established decree. The plural construct with 3ms suffix is preserved as "statutes" (plural) with "his" reflecting the masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
