SIBI-P1 Translation H3548-26
and to our priest-officiants
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + preposition ל + masculine plural construct noun כֹּהֲנֵי + 1st person common plural suffix נוּ ("our"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The base noun כֹּהֵן is an active participle meaning "one who officiates in ritual service." The masculine plural construct with 1st person common plural suffix yields "our priest-officiants," and the prefixed conjunction and preposition add "and to." |
