the kidneys
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common; feminine plural absolute with definite article (הַ־). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is feminine plural absolute with the definite article, from כִּלְיָה, derived from the root meaning "vessel" or "container." "The kidneys" preserves the anatomical sense of internal vessels while allowing for its established metaphorical extension to the inner self. |
