the pale-gem stone
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun (absolute) with prefixed definite article (הַ־). No pronominal suffix; not in construct. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form הַשֹּׁהַם is a masculine singular noun in the absolute state with the definite article, thus rendered "the pale-gem stone." The translation preserves the probable root sense of paleness or blanching while reflecting the definite, singular grammatical form. |
