SIBI-P1 Translation H8451-07
the instructions
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common; feminine plural absolute with definite article (הַ). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun תּוֹרָה derives from ירה in its causative sense, meaning that which is instructed or pointed out. The feminine plural absolute form with the definite article is therefore rendered "the instructions," preserving both plurality and definiteness. |
