SIBI-P1 H1285-02
cutting-compact
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine singular noun; appears in both absolute (cfsa) and construct (cfsc) states in the provided forms. No pronominal suffixes are present in these instances. |
| Rendering Rationale | בְּרִית is a common feminine singular noun (absolute or construct in the listed forms). The rendering "cutting-compact" preserves the singular form and reflects the ancient practice of "cutting" a covenant, retaining the root sense of severing to establish a binding agreement rather than using the more abstract term "covenant." |
