SIBI-P1 H136-02
my Lords
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural noun (אֲדֹנִים) in construct form with 1cs pronominal suffix; morphologically "my Lords." Though grammatically plural, it commonly functions as a singular proper title for Israel’s God (plural of majesty). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a masculine plural noun in construct with a first common singular suffix ("my"), literally "my Lords." Although used as a proper title for the God of Israel, the plural form conveys majesty and supremacy, while the 1cs suffix expresses personal allegiance and submission. |
