their mighty powers

Rootאלה (ʾ-l-h)
Core Meaningspower, might, strength, supremacy, divine authority
Semantic RangeSupreme God (esp. with singular verbs); gods (pagan deities); mighty ones, judges, angels, superhuman powers; rarely human rulers exercising divine authority.
Conceptual SignificanceEmphasizes God's transcendent power, majesty, and sovereignty as Creator and Judge; the plural form intensifies divine strength while the suffix personalizes it as belonging to a masculine plural group, often Israel, highlighting covenantal relationship and accountability to the mighty God.
Morphological NotesHNcmpc/Sp3mp: Noun common masculine plural construct with 3rd person masculine plural suffix (their); bound form of אֱלֹהִים indicating possession.
Rendering RationaleThis rendering preserves the root's core sense of might and power from אלה/אל, reflecting the plural construct form (cmpc) as 'powers' to echo the majestic plural intensity, and incorporates the 3mp pronominal suffix 'their' to match the morphology HNcmpc/Sp3mp exactly.
