SIBI-P1 Translation H8002-08
well-being offerings
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, masculine plural, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The plural noun form denotes a class of sacrifices characterized by wholeness and harmonious relationship, reflecting the root שׁלם (“to be complete, be whole, be at peace”). Rendering it as "well-being offerings" preserves both the cultic sense and the root concept of completeness while maintaining the masculine plural form. |
