SIBI-P1 Translation H3675-03
and their fellow-officials
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + masculine plural construct noun כְּנָוָת + 3rd person masculine plural suffix; Aramaic common noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun denotes colleagues holding equivalent office or status; the masculine plural construct with 3mp suffix requires a plural rendering with "their," and the prefixed conjunction adds "and." "Fellow-officials" preserves the sense of formally appointed counterparts of equal rank. |
