SIBI-P1 Translation H7704-18
his open field
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in construct state with 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | שָׂדֶה denotes an open, spread-out expanse of land outside settled areas. The construct singular with 3ms suffix (שָׂדֵהוּ) requires the possessive "his," yielding "his open field," which preserves both root sense and morphology. |
