SIBI-P1 Translation H5741-01
Flock-of-God
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine personal name (Np); singular; theophoric compound with אֵל. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines עדר (flock, that which is gathered) with אל (God), forming a theophoric personal name. Rendering it as "Flock-of-God" preserves the root imagery and compound structure rather than substituting a conventional English name form. |
