| Rendering Rationale | The noun דָּם (blood) is a masculine singular in construct form with a 3ms pronominal suffix, meaning "blood of him." Rendering it as "his lifeblood" preserves the singular masculine possession and highlights the root-associated idea of blood as the vital life that, when shed, brings death. |
