SIBI-P1 H1-26

the fathers

Morphological NotesDefinite article הָ + masculine plural noun אָבוֹת (irregular plural of אָב); common masculine plural absolute. The plural form often functions collectively for ancestral figures.
Rendering RationaleThe noun אָב means "father" in both literal and extended senses. The morphology (HTd/Ncmpa) indicates a masculine plural noun in the absolute state with the definite article, thus "the fathers." This rendering preserves the masculine plural form and the definiteness marked in Hebrew.
