and by my God
A term referring to deity or divine beings; most frequently used as a designation for Israel's god, but also applied more broadly to other gods, supernatural beings, or exalted persons (such as judges or rulers) depending on context. In most instances with the article or in reference to the Israelite god, the term denotes the singular divine figure worshiped by the Israelites. Occasionally, especially in poetic or archaic contexts, it refers to multiple gods. The form is morphologically plural but can function grammatically as singular or plural, depending on context.

SIBI-P1 Translation H430-46
and in my mighty-ones
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + preposition ב + masculine plural noun in construct (אֱלֹהֵי) + 1cs suffix; morphologically plural with possessive "my." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אֱלֹהִים is morphologically masculine plural and here appears in construct with a 1st person singular suffix, yielding "my mighty-ones." The prefixed conjunction וּ and preposition ב are rendered as "and in," preserving the full morphology without collapsing the plural form into a singular. |
