the service-duty
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic common noun, feminine singular, determined (emphatic) state, with prefixed conjunction וְ (“and”). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root עבד (“to serve, to work”) and denotes service or labor undertaken as an assigned obligation. The feminine singular determined (emphatic) state in Aramaic warrants the definite rendering "the service-duty." |
