their houses

Rootבית (b-y-t)
Core Meaningshouse, household, family, dwelling, temple
Semantic RangePhysical house or building; household or family unit; temple or sanctuary; court, palace, or place of authority; metaphorical realm of a father or ancestor.
Conceptual Significanceבַּיִת symbolizes the foundational social and spiritual unit under patriarchal authority, extending to God's 'house' as temple or people of Israel; it underscores themes of inheritance, protection, and divine dwelling in biblical theology.
Morphological NotesHNcmpc/Sp3mp: Noun (H = Hebrew), common (not gendered like masc/fem), masculine plural construct form (בָּתֵּי 'houses of'), with 3mp suffix (הֶם 'their').
Rendering RationaleThe faithful rendering 'their houses' directly reflects the construct form בָּתֵּי (batey, 'houses of') with the 3mp pronominal suffix הֶם ('their'), preserving the masculine plural morphology HNcmpc/Sp3mp. It maintains the core semantic field of 'house' as a physical or familial dwelling without introducing extraneous root-derived connotations. This ensures grammatical accuracy in gender (masculine), number (plural), and person (3rd masculine plural possession).
