SIBI-P1 H7626-14
to his tribal-rod
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ ("to/for") + masculine singular construct noun שֵׁבֶט + 3ms pronominal suffix ("his"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שֵׁבֶט fundamentally denotes a rod or staff, from which the figurative sense of a branch or tribe develops. Rendering it as "tribal-rod" preserves the concrete root imagery of a staff while reflecting its extended meaning of a clan or tribal division. The form is masculine singular construct with a 3rd masculine singular suffix, hence "his," governed by the prefixed preposition לְ ("to"). |
