SIBI-P1 Translation H6083-16
and their dust
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction waw + masculine singular common noun in construct state + 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עָפָר denotes fine, powdery earth—dust—derived from the root meaning "to become dust." The singular construct form with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix yields "their dust," and the prefixed waw adds "and." |
