SIBI-P1 Translation H8034-08
by their names
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב + masculine plural construct noun שְׁמוֹת + 3rd person masculine plural suffix ("their"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שֵׁם denotes an established designation or identity-marker. The plural construct with 3rd person masculine plural suffix yields "their names," and the prefixed ב conveys association or instrumentality, hence "by their names." |
