and-his-God
A term referring to deity or divine beings; most frequently used as a designation for Israel's god, but also applied more broadly to other gods, supernatural beings, or exalted persons (such as judges or rulers) depending on context. In most instances with the article or in reference to the Israelite god, the term denotes the singular divine figure worshiped by the Israelites. Occasionally, especially in poetic or archaic contexts, it refers to multiple gods. The form is morphologically plural but can function grammatically as singular or plural, depending on context.

and his Mighty-One
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + preposition ב assimilated in form + masculine plural noun in construct state with 3rd person masculine singular suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root אלה conveys might and awe. Though morphologically plural, אֱלֹהִים in construct with a 3ms suffix commonly denotes a singular deity; "Mighty-One" preserves the root sense while "his" reflects the pronominal suffix, and "and" renders the prefixed conjunction. |
