Common Translation
| Phrase | their wives |
SIBI-P1 Translation H802-36
their women
| Morphological Notes | Feminine plural construct noun (irregular plural of אִשָּׁה) + 3mp pronominal suffix; "women of them." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is the feminine plural construct of אִשָּׁה with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix, yielding "women of them" or "their women." Rendering as "women" preserves the broad root-derived sense (female counterparts to men) without narrowing to "wives," since SIBI-P1 avoids contextual specification. |
