SIBI-P1 H8577-12
and great-serpents
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ (“and”) + common masculine plural absolute noun from תַּנִּין. No pronominal suffix; plural form indicated by -ִים ending. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun תַנִּים is masculine plural absolute, preceded by the conjunction וְ (“and”), so the rendering preserves the plural form as “great-serpents.” The term reflects the intensified form of the root conveying a large, fearsome reptilian or dragon-like creature, maintaining the core imagery of a monstrous serpent. |
