| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ + cardinal number; masculine singular construct form of שֵׁשׁ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form combines the preposition לְ ("to/for") with שֵׁשֶׁת, the masculine singular construct form of the cardinal number "six," indicating relation to a set of six in construct with a following noun. "To six of" preserves both the prepositional prefix and the construct state. |
