SIBI-P1 Translation H4979-08
and gifts
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ + common noun, feminine plural absolute (מַתָּנָה). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from נתן (“to give”) and denotes things given; the feminine plural absolute form is preserved as “gifts,” with the prefixed conjunction rendered as “and.” This keeps the focus on the concrete objects of giving inherent in the root. |
