your fathers

Morphological NotesCommon masculine plural noun (construct) from אָב with 2ms pronominal suffix; literally "fathers of you." The construct form links the plural noun to the attached possessive suffix.
Rendering RationaleThe noun is masculine plural in construct form with a second masculine singular suffix, literally "fathers of you." The rendering "your fathers" preserves the plural masculine sense and the direct second-person masculine singular address while maintaining the root idea of paternal ancestry.
