SIBI-P1 Translation H6119-08
heels of
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine plural, construct state (HNcmpc). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from עקב, denoting the heel as the trailing part of the foot and by extension what follows behind. The masculine plural construct form requires a plural rendering in construct state, hence “heels of.” |
