SIBI-P1 Translation H1168-06
to the Baals
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ל + proper noun masculine plural (בְּעָלִים). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form includes the prefixed preposition ל ("to/for") and the masculine plural proper noun בְּעָלִים, referring to multiple Baʻal deities. Rendering it "to the Baals" preserves both the plural morphology and its identity as named lord-deities derived from the root meaning "master." |
