dôwr
in his generations
A period or span of human life, typically denoting a 'generation'—the people living at a particular time, or the duration of their life-cycle. Also denotes the recurring cycle or sequence of generations in human history. Sometimes used with broader reference to the idea of an 'age' or 'epoch,' occasionally extending to mean 'posterity.' In rare cases, a sense related to 'habitation' or 'dwelling' is attested, likely derivative from the primary temporal sense.

SIBI-P1 Translation H1755-03
in his generational cycles
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine plural construct + 3rd masculine singular suffix, with prefixed בְּ preposition ("in"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun דּוֹר denotes a revolving life-cycle or generation; the plural construct with 3ms suffix indicates multiple such cycles belonging to him, and the prefixed בְּ adds the sense of "in." This rendering preserves both the cyclical root sense and the possessive morphology. |
