| Morphological Notes | Common masculine noun, plural construct (HNcmpc). Construct state indicates possession or close association with a following noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִשְׁכְּנ֥וֹת is the masculine plural construct form of מִשְׁכָּן, derived from the root שכן (“to dwell”). Rendering it as "dwelling-places of" preserves the core idea of settled habitation from the root and reflects the masculine plural construct form, which requires a following genitive (“of …”). |
