SIBI-P1 Translation H5739-14
and organized herds
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, masculine plural absolute with prefixed conjunction וַ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֲדָרִים is the masculine plural of עֵדֶר, derived from the root meaning "to arrange or muster." Rendering it as "organized herds" preserves the sense of purposefully gathered livestock, and the plural form is reflected in "herds," with the prefixed conjunction conveyed by "and." |
