SIBI-P1 `H1167-10`

to his masters

Root	בעל (b-ʿ-l)
Core Meanings	ownership, mastery, lordship, possession, control
Semantic Range	master, owner, lord, husband, chief, one characterized by or possessing something (in construct expressions)
Conceptual Significance	בַּעַל expresses authority through possession or mastery, whether in social (master, husband), economic (owner), or religious contexts (the deity Baal). Its use reflects structures of authority and belonging within Israelite society and theology.
Morphological Notes	Preposition לְ + noun masculine plural construct (בַּעֲלֵי/בְעָלָי) + 3ms suffix ו ("his"). The construct form links the noun to the pronominal suffix, forming "his masters/owners."
Rendering Rationale	The noun בַּעַל denotes one who possesses or exercises mastery. The form is masculine plural construct with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix, preceded by the preposition לְ ("to"), yielding "to his masters," preserving both the root sense of mastery and the plural masculine possession indicated by the morphology.
