like green growth
| Morphological Notes | masculine singular common noun in construct state with prefixed preposition כְ ("like/as") |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֵשֶׂב denotes tender, herbaceous vegetation arising from fresh growth. Rendered as "green growth" to preserve the root sense of sprouting greenery; the prefixed כְ is reflected by "like," and the singular construct form is maintained in a concise singular expression. |
