his loins
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, dual form (inherent dual), construct state + 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חָלָץ in the dual denotes the loins/hip-region as the bodily area "drawn out" or projecting, associated with strength and readiness. The dual construct with 3ms suffix is preserved as "his loins," maintaining both number and possession. |
