Morphological NotesNoun, common; singular; construct state; gender both (treated as masculine in form).
Rendering RationaleThe noun חֶבֶל derives from the root meaning "to bind/tie" and denotes a rope or cord, with extended senses flowing from that core image. The construct singular form requires a relational rendering, hence "binding-cord of," preserving both the root sense and construct state.
