Av
and our fathers
Male ancestor; in primary sense, a biological or adoptive male parent. Extends to forebear or distant ancestor—collectively understood as 'fathers' in reference to previous generations. Also used for male head of a family or clan, founder or originator of a profession or tradition. Can denote a respected elder or principal figure of a group. In certain idiomatic uses, represents the origin or source of something (e.g., 'father of violence'). By extension, may refer to God as the ultimate source or progenitor, though this is less frequent in Biblical Hebrew than in later traditions.

| Phrase | and our fathers |
SIBI-P1 Translation H1-67
and our fathers
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + masculine plural construct noun + 1st person common plural suffix ("our"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is masculine plural construct with a first person common plural suffix, yielding "our fathers," and the prefixed conjunction ו adds "and." The rendering preserves the paternal-ancestral sense of the root אָב and the explicit plural and possessive morphology. |
