SIBI-P1 H3899-21
to bread (sustenance)
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ (“to/for”) prefixed to a masculine singular absolute noun (Ncbsa). No article or pronominal suffix is present. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun לֶחֶם is masculine singular absolute, here preceded by the preposition לְ (“to/for”). The rendering "to bread (sustenance)" preserves the singular form and keeps the core sense of לֶחֶם as staple food and provision, rather than generalizing it beyond its root meaning. |
