beneath them; in place of them
| Morphological Notes | Preposition תַּחַת with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix ("them"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The preposition תַּחַת expresses being beneath or serving as a substitute. The 3rd person masculine plural suffix הֶם adds "them," yielding either spatial "beneath them" or substitutive "in place of them," both rooted in the core idea of underlying position or replacement. |
