SIBI-P1 H4853-07
their burden-load
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in construct form (מַשָּׂא) with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix (־ָם), literally "burden of them." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מַשָּׂא (massāʾ) derives from נשׂא, "to lift/carry," and denotes that which is lifted or borne—a load or burden. The form is masculine singular construct with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix ("their"), so the rendering preserves the singular noun with a plural possessive: "their burden-load." |
