SIBI-P1 Translation H8081-26
and rich oil
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + masculine singular common noun in construct state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שֶׁמֶן derives from the root שׁמן, expressing fatness and richness; rendering it as "rich oil" preserves the embodied sense of fat-derived abundance rather than a generic "oil." The prefixed conjunction וְ is reflected by "and," and the masculine singular construct form is maintained in a concise noun phrase. |
