SIBI-P1 Translation H4467-15
kingly realms of
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common feminine plural, construct state (מַמְלְכוֹת). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מַמְלָכָה derives from the root מלך (“to reign”) and denotes the domain or structure of kingly rule. The feminine plural construct form requires a plural rendering (“realms”) and construct linkage (“of”), preserving its sense of multiple domains defined by kingship. |

kingdoms of
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'kingly realms of' is lexically correct, but in Biblical context 'kingdoms of' is the usual, concise construct phrase and fits here. |
