SIBI-P1 H4735-11
his acquired-herd
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in construct form (מִקְנֵה) with 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix (-הוּ), yielding "his …"; though singular in form, it often carries a collective sense. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִקְנֶה derives from the root קנה ("to acquire, purchase"), denoting that which has been acquired. The form is masculine singular construct with a 3ms pronominal suffix, literally "the acquired-thing of him," functioning collectively for livestock. "His acquired-herd" preserves both the root idea of acquisition and the third masculine singular possession. |
