SIBI-P1 Translation H6440-29
before their face
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ + masculine plural noun in construct (פְּנֵי) + 3rd person masculine plural suffix; literally "to the face of them." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun פָּנִים (face, outward presence) in construct with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix yields "their face/presence." The prefixed לְ indicates orientation or position toward, resulting in "before their face," preserving both root meaning and morphology. |
