SIBI-P1 Translation H3550-04

priesthood of

Morphological NotesFeminine singular common noun in construct state (HNcfsc), from כְּהֻנָּה.
Rendering RationaleThe noun כְּהֻנָּה is a feminine abstract form derived from כהן, denoting the office or institution of priestly service. The construct state singular requires a genitival relationship, hence "priesthood of," preserving both the abstract sense and the construct morphology.
