SIBI-P1 H3629-02

the inner vessels (the kidneys)

Morphological NotesNoun common feminine plural absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ). Though feminine in Hebrew, English does not mark grammatical gender; plurality and definiteness are preserved.
Rendering Rationaleכְּלָיֹת is the feminine plural absolute form with the definite article, meaning "the kidneys." The rendering "the inner vessels" preserves the connection to כְּלִי (vessel, container) from the same root idea of containing or holding, while the plural form reflects the feminine plural morphology.
