apportioned gift of
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine singular noun in construct state (cfsc), linking it to a following noun ("gift of …"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִנְחָה derives from a root conveying the idea of apportioning or allotting something as a gift. Rendering it "apportioned gift" preserves this sense of a designated or assigned offering. The form מִנְחַת is feminine singular construct (HNcfsc), so the translation reflects a singular noun in construct state, hence "apportioned gift of." |
