your faces

Morphological NotesNoun, common, plural construct form of פָּנִים with 2nd person masculine plural pronominal suffix ("your"). Though plural in form, often functions as a singular of extension.
Rendering Rationaleפְּנֵי is the construct plural of פָּנִים (face/surface), and the 2nd person masculine plural suffix כֶם adds "your." The rendering "your faces" preserves the plural form and the possessive masculine plural morphology while reflecting the root idea of what is turned outward.
