SIBI-P1 H2945-03

for you men, your little-ones

Morphological NotesNoun, common masculine singular construct (טַף) with 2nd person masculine plural pronominal suffix (כֶם), prefixed by לְ (“to/for”). Though singular in form, it functions collectively for children or dependents.
Rendering Rationaleטַף denotes small, dependent children, likely linked to the idea of toddling or unsteady steps. The form is a masculine singular construct noun with a 2nd person masculine plural suffix, preceded by לְ (“for/to”), hence "for you men, your little-ones," preserving both the collective sense of the noun and the masculine plural addressees.
