SIBI-P1 Translation H7998-03
for plunder-spoil
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun in the absolute state with prefixed preposition לְ ("to/for"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שָׁלָל denotes that which has been taken by force through plundering. The prefixed לְ adds the sense "for" or "to," so the rendering preserves both the root idea of seized goods and the singular absolute form. |
