SIBI-P1 Translation H4060-05
according to measure-of
| Morphological Notes | Preposition כְּ ("according to/as") + feminine singular noun מִדָּה in construct state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִדָּה in feminine singular construct denotes a measured standard or portion; the prefixed כְּ adds the sense "according to" or "as." The rendering preserves the construct form by leaving it open-ended ("measure-of") and retains the core idea of measured extent from the root מדד. |
