the everlasting age
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic common noun, masculine singular, determined (emphatic) state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root עלם conveying hiddenness and indefinite duration. As a masculine singular noun in the determined (emphatic) state, it is rendered definitively as "the everlasting age," reflecting a singular, ongoing period beyond visible limits. |
