SIBI-P1 Translation H5158-24
and seasonal streams
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ + masculine plural absolute noun (נְחָלִים) from נַחַל. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun נְחָלִים is the masculine plural absolute form of נַחַל, derived from the root meaning "to flow" or "to stream." Rendering it as "seasonal streams" preserves the core idea of flowing watercourses that run during rains, and the prefixed וּ adds the conjunction "and." |
