SIBI-P1 H2706-21
as an engraved statute
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun (absolute or construct) with prefixed preposition לְ (“to/for/as”). No pronominal suffix. From root חקק. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֹק (masculine singular) derives from the root חקק, "to engrave" or "inscribe," conveying something fixed or prescribed. Rendering it "engraved statute" preserves the imagery of something permanently set, while "as" reflects the prefixed לְ preposition. The singular form is maintained in English. |
