SIBI-P1 Translation H6440-74
and before the face of
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + preposition לְ + noun פָּנִים (plural of extension) in construct state; masculine/feminine plural form functioning syntactically as singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The construct plural form פְּנֵי with prefixed לְ expresses orientation "to/toward the face of," functioning prepositionally as "before" or "in the presence of." The conjunction וְ adds "and," preserving both prefix elements and the construct relationship. |
