SIBI-P1 Translation H5771-12
his twisted-guilt
| Morphological Notes | Common noun, singular, construct state with 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עָוֺן derives from the root meaning "to twist" or "distort," denoting wrongdoing and the resulting state of guilt. The construct form with 3ms suffix requires the rendering "his," and "twisted-guilt" preserves both the act of distortion and the liability it carries. |
