my destroying blade
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular common noun in construct state with 1st person common singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֶרֶב denotes a bladed instrument associated with destruction, derived from the root חרב (“to lay waste”). The 1st person singular suffix yields “my,” and the rendering preserves both the destructive root sense and the singular feminine noun form. |
