SIBI-P1 Translation H6440-57
their faces
| Morphological Notes | Common noun, plural form (plural of extension), construct state + 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun פָּנִים derives from the root פנה, referring to what is turned outward—the face or visible surface. In construct form with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix, it yields "their faces," preserving both the plural morphology and the possessive suffix. |
