SIBI-P1 Translation H2706-24
my inscribed statutes
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural noun in construct state with 1st person common singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֹק derives from חקק, "to inscribe/engrave," referring to decrees fixed by authoritative inscription. The plural construct form with 1st person singular suffix yields "my" plus a masculine plural, hence "my inscribed statutes." |
