SIBI-P1 H4264-07
the encampments
| Morphological Notes | Noun common masculine, plural absolute (מַחֲנוֹת) with prefixed definite article הַ־; no pronominal suffix. Though ending in ־וֹת, it is the regular plural form of a masculine noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מַחֲנֶה derives from the root חנה, "to encamp" or "to pitch tent." The form הַמַּחֲנוֹת is masculine plural absolute with the definite article, so "the encampments" preserves both the plural number and the concrete sense of places where groups have encamped, reflecting the root action of settling in formation. |
