SIBI-P1 Translation H226-03
the distinguishing-marks
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common; feminine plural absolute with definite article (הָ); no pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The plural definite form הָאֹתוֹת is rendered "the distinguishing-marks" to preserve the root sense of marking or designating while reflecting the feminine plural noun with the definite article. This keeps the concrete idea of visible indicators inherent in אוֹת. |
