his begetting
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil infinitive construct of ילד with 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys causative action—"to cause to be born," i.e., to beget or father. As an infinitive construct with a 3rd masculine singular suffix, it denotes the act itself possessed by him: "his begetting." |
