their mantles
| Root | שׂמל (ś-m-l) |
| Core Meanings | covering, wrapping, outer garment, mantle |
| Semantic Range | outer garment, mantle, cloak, clothing in general, apparel |
| Conceptual Significance | The שִׂמְלָה functioned as a primary outer garment in ancient Israelite life, serving not only as clothing but also as bedding or pledge collateral, symbolizing personal dignity, protection, and basic provision. |
| Morphological Notes | Feminine plural noun in construct form (שִׂמְלֹת) with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix (-ָם), yielding "their"; from the singular שִׂמְלָה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שִׂמְלָה denotes an outer covering garment or mantle. The form שִׂמְלֹתָם is feminine plural construct with a third person masculine plural suffix, meaning "their mantles." The rendering preserves the plural number and possessive "their," reflecting the 3mp suffix, while retaining the core idea of an outer covering garment. |
