as likeness of
| Morphological Notes | Preposition כ + feminine singular noun in construct state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun דְּמוּת denotes resemblance or representation derived from the root דמה ('to be like'). The prefixed כ functions as a comparative preposition ('as/like'), and the construct state requires 'of,' yielding 'as likeness of.' |
