his signet-ring
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine singular construct + 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | Derived from the root meaning "to sink, impress, stamp," טַבַּעַת refers to a ring used to impress a seal. The construct form with a 3ms suffix requires the rendering "his," preserving singular feminine noun with masculine singular possession. |
