SIBI-P1
and to you men
| Root | ל (l-) |
| Core Meanings | direction, relation, belonging, possession, benefit |
| Semantic Range | to you, for you, belonging to you, concerning you, in relation to you (masculine plural). |
| Conceptual Significance | This form marks direct address or relational direction toward a defined male group within the covenant community, often distinguishing them from others in legal, prophetic, or covenantal discourse. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + preposition לְ + 2nd person masculine plural pronominal suffix כֶם (HC/R/Sp2mp). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the conjunction וְ ("and") prefixed to the preposition ל ("to/for") with a second person masculine plural pronominal suffix (כֶם). "And to you men" preserves the directional/relational force of ל and explicitly reflects the masculine plural addressees indicated by the suffix. |
