SIBI-P1 H1285-06
my cut-binding pact
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine singular noun in construct form (בְּרִית) with 1st common singular pronominal suffix (־ִי), yielding "my …"; absolute form is בְּרִית. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בְּרִית is understood to derive from a root meaning "to cut," reflecting the ancient practice of cutting animals when establishing a covenant. Rendering it "cut-binding pact" preserves this concrete, root-based imagery rather than using the more abstract "covenant." The form is feminine singular in construct with a 1st common singular suffix ("my"), hence "my cut-binding pact." |
