her masters
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural noun in construct state (בְּעָלֵי) with 3fs pronominal suffix; literally "masters/possessors of her." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from בעל, denoting one who possesses or exercises dominion. The masculine plural construct with a 3rd feminine singular suffix yields "her masters," preserving both plural masculinity and possession. |
