SIBI-P1 H1818-19
bloods
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine plural absolute noun (HNcmpa) from דָּם (dâm). The plural form frequently carries an intensive or abstract sense, especially for bloodshed or bloodguilt. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a masculine plural absolute noun, so the rendering preserves the plural with "bloods." In Hebrew, the plural often intensifies the idea, referring not merely to physical blood but to acts of bloodshed or accumulated bloodguilt, thus retaining the root sense of shed lifeblood. |
