SIBI-P1 Translation H6440-28
to the face of
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ + noun פָּנִים (common, plural of extension, construct state); functions prepositionally with following noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form לִפְנֵי consists of the preposition לְ ("to, toward") prefixed to the construct plural of פָּנִים ("face, surface, presence"). "To the face of" preserves both the directional prefix and the root idea of what is turned outward or faced. |
