SIBI-P1 Translation H7253-05
their quarters
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural noun in construct state (רִבְעֵי) with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix (הֶם) — "quarters of them/their quarters." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun רֶבַע denotes a fourth part or quarter; in masculine plural construct with a 3mp suffix, it expresses multiple fourth-parts belonging to them. "Their quarters" preserves the fourfold division inherent in the root and reflects the plural possessive form. |
