dividing-streams of
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural common noun in construct state from פֶּלֶג. |
| Rendering Rationale | The plural construct form denotes multiple small water channels in relationship to something following, hence "streams of." The rendering "dividing-streams" preserves the root sense of split or branch, highlighting streams as offshoots that divide from a larger source. |
