to their deity
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in construct state with prefixed ל ("to") and 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix ("their"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אֱלָהּ denotes a powerful divine being, derived from a root meaning "to be strong/mighty." The construct form with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix yields "their deity," and the prefixed ל adds "to," preserving both possession and prepositional force. |
