her face-turned-ones

Rootפנה (p-n-h)
Core Meaningsturn, face, direction, presence, forefront
Semantic RangeLiteral: faces, surface, front; idiomatic: presence, before, countenance, direction toward; with suffix: her face(s), her presence, her forefront/surface.
Conceptual Significanceפָנֶיהָ often conveys divine or personal presence ('before her face' as in YHWH's presence), relational orientation, and approachability; in biblical theology, 'turning the face' signifies favor, attention, or judgment (e.g., hiding one's face), emphasizing covenantal intimacy or distance with God or others.
Morphological NotesHNcbpc/Sp3fs: Noun, common gender, bound construct form (suffixed), basic stem participle, masculine plural with 3rd person feminine singular pronominal suffix.
Rendering Rationale'Face-turned-ones' preserves the core root meaning of פנה ('to turn/face') in its nominal construct form, directly evoking the idea of 'faces' as the part that turns; the masculine plural participle (Nc bpc) is reflected in the plural masculine '-ones', while the 3fs suffix (Sp3fs) is captured as 'her' for a female referent. This maintains grammatical gender, number, person, and the participial sense of ongoing orientation toward her.
