SIBI-P1 Translation H4399-09
for the work-of
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ + feminine singular noun in construct state (מְלֶאכֶת) from מְלָאכָה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מְלָאכָה denotes purposeful, skilled work or that which is accomplished, derived from the root meaning "to fill/complete." The prefixed לְ ("for/to") with feminine singular construct form requires a rendering that preserves both the preposition and the construct relationship: "for the work-of." |
