their being-created
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Niphal stem; infinitive construct with 3rd person masculine plural suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal stem conveys passive action ('to be created'), and the infinitive construct with 3rd masculine plural suffix denotes 'their being created.' The rendering preserves both the passive force and the pronominal suffix. |
