your destroying-blade
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular common noun in construct state with 2nd person masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֶרֶב derives from חרב, conveying destruction or laying waste; rendering it "destroying-blade" preserves this root sense rather than defaulting to "sword." The 2ms suffix is reflected in "your," maintaining singular possession addressed to a male. |
