for their generations

Rootדור (d-w-r)
Core Meaningscycle, revolution, turn, generation, dwelling
Semantic Rangegeneration, age, lifetime, period, posterity, successive eras, enduring continuity
Conceptual Significanceדּוֹר emphasizes the cyclical unfolding of time through successive generations. In covenantal contexts, "for their generations" underscores enduring obligations, statutes, or promises extending through the ongoing cycles of a people’s lineage.
Morphological NotesPreposition לְ + masculine plural construct noun (Ncmpc) from דּוֹר + 3mp pronominal suffix ("their"). The construct form links the generations to the possessors indicated by the suffix.
Rendering RationaleThe noun דּוֹר (generation, cycle) appears here in the masculine plural construct form דֹרֹת with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix ("their"), preceded by the preposition לְ ("for/to"). "For their generations" preserves the plural form and the possessive suffix, while reflecting the root idea of successive cycles of time.
