of our God
A term referring to deity or divine beings; most frequently used as a designation for Israel's god, but also applied more broadly to other gods, supernatural beings, or exalted persons (such as judges or rulers) depending on context. In most instances with the article or in reference to the Israelite god, the term denotes the singular divine figure worshiped by the Israelites. Occasionally, especially in poetic or archaic contexts, it refers to multiple gods. The form is morphologically plural but can function grammatically as singular or plural, depending on context.

SIBI-P1 Translation H430-33
to our Mighty One
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ + masculine plural noun in construct (אֱלֹהֵי) + 1cp suffix (“our”); morphologically plural form from אֱלֹהִים, functioning here in construct. |
| Rendering Rationale | The base noun is morphologically masculine plural in construct (אֱלֹהֵי) with a 1st person common plural suffix, and prefixed with לְ (“to/for”). Root-faithful rendering emphasizes might (אלה) while preserving the singular possessive sense with “our” and the preposition “to.” |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
to our Elohim
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'God' is the standard rendering for 'elohim' in this context referring to Israel's deity; 'to' matches the preposition; 'our' is present in the pronominal suffix. 'Mighty One' is an interpretive P1 choice but the context clearly identifies deity as 'God'. |
