from his seal-rings

Rootטבע (ṭ-b-ʿ)
Core Meaningsto sink, to immerse, to press in, to imprint, to embed
Semantic Rangesignet-ring, sealing ring, ornamental ring, ring used for fastening (e.g., in tabernacle furnishings)
Conceptual SignificanceSeal-rings in the biblical world symbolized authority, ownership, and authentication. As instruments that "imprint" identity and intent, they embody the root idea of something pressed in or embedded, often signifying covenantal authority or official decree.
Morphological NotesPreposition מִן ("from") + noun טַבַּעַת (feminine singular) in feminine plural construct form טַבְּעוֹת + 3ms pronominal suffix "-יו" ("his").
Rendering RationaleThe noun טַבַּעַת derives from the root ט־ב־ע, "to sink" or "to press in," referring to a ring used to press or imprint a seal into wax or clay. The form is feminine plural construct with a 3rd masculine singular suffix and prefixed preposition מִן ("from"), thus "from his seal-rings," preserving both the root imagery of impressed sealing and the grammatical details.
