SIBI-P1 Translation H6440-27
to the face/front
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ + common noun פָּנִים, plural form (plural of extension), absolute state; functions adverbially or prepositionally. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form combines the preposition לְ ("to, toward") with פָּנִים ("face, front, presence"), a plural-of-extension noun from the root פנה. The rendering preserves both the directional force of לְ and the core idea of what is turned outward or to the front. |
