SIBI-P1 H6629-06

the migrating flock

Morphological NotesDefinite article הַ + noun common singular absolute (collective). Though singular in form, it functions as a collective noun referring to a group of small livestock (sheep and/or goats).
Rendering RationaleThe noun צֹאן derives from a root associated with migration or collective movement, reflecting animals that move together as a group. The form הַצֹּאן is a definite, singular, absolute noun with the article, so "the migrating flock" preserves both the collective singular sense and the root idea of grouped movement.
