SIBI-P1 H4948-08
his weight-measure
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun (construct) from מִשְׁקָל with 3ms pronominal suffix (“his”). The construct form links the noun to the suffix, indicating possession. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִשְׁקָל derives from the root שקל (“to weigh, measure”). As a masculine singular noun in construct form with a 3ms suffix, it denotes something belonging to him; thus "his weight-measure" preserves both the concrete sense of weight and the act of weighing inherent in the root, while accurately reflecting the singular noun with third masculine singular possession. |
