like distributary-streams of
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural construct noun with prefixed preposition כְ ("like/as"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun פֶּלֶג denotes a divided-off stream or minor watercourse, reflecting the root idea of splitting or branching. The plural construct form פַלְגֵי is preserved as "distributary-streams of," and the prefixed כְ is rendered "like," maintaining both number and syntactic form. |
