SIBI-P1 Translation H2416-05
in his lives
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב + masculine plural construct noun חַיֵּי + 3ms suffix; literally "in the lives of him." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is masculine plural construct with a 3ms suffix, literally "his lives," preceded by the preposition בְּ ("in"). Rendering it as "in his lives" preserves both the plural form and the pronominal suffix while maintaining the root sense of lived existence. |
