SIBI-P1 Translation H6256-10
the appointed times
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine plural absolute with definite article (הָ + עִתִּים). |
| Rendering Rationale | The plural noun עִתִּים denotes multiple marked or designated points or periods in time. The definite article (הָ) requires "the," and the plural form preserves the sense of distinct, appointed occasions rather than a general abstract concept of time. |
