SIBI-P1 Translation H1004-06
your houses
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine plural construct + 2nd person masculine plural pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בַּיִת derives from the root בנה (“to build”) and denotes a built structure or the social unit established within it. The masculine plural construct form with a 2nd person masculine plural suffix is preserved as "your houses," reflecting both plurality and possession. |
