for the inscribed statute of
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine singular noun in construct state (Ncbsc) with prefixed preposition לְ ("to/for"). The construct form requires a following genitive complement ("of..."). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֻקָּה derives from the root חקק, "to carve or inscribe," reflecting something fixed or prescribed as if engraved. The construct feminine singular form חֻקַּת is rendered "inscribed statute of" to preserve both the root imagery of something engraved and the grammatical construct relationship, while the prefixed לְ is reflected in "for." |
