unto perpetuity
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לָ (to/unto) prefixed to a masculine singular absolute noun (נֶצַח). Functions adverbially to denote enduring duration or unending extent. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun נֶצַח (masculine singular absolute) derives from the root נצח, conveying endurance, lasting preeminence, or victory that persists. With the prefixed preposition לָ (“unto/to”), the form functions adverbially, expressing movement or extension toward enduring continuance—hence “unto perpetuity.” |
