and his appointed assembly
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine singular construct + 3ms pronominal suffix, prefixed conjunction waw. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֵדָה derives from the root עוד in the sense of something appointed or formally constituted, hence an organized assembly. The construct form with a 3rd person masculine singular suffix yields "his assembly," and the prefixed conjunction adds "and." |
