glowing coals of
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common gender, plural construct (HNcbpc). The form גַּחֲלֵי is the construct plural of גֶּחֶל/גַּחֶלֶת, indicating "coals of" followed by a genitive complement. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is a common plural in construct form ("coals of"), so the rendering reflects the plural number and the construct relationship. "Glowing" preserves the root idea of active heat and kindling inherent in גחל, not merely inert charcoal but living embers. |
