SIBI-P1 Translation H8510-04
their ruin-mound
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular construct + 3rd person masculine plural suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun תֵּל denotes a man-made mound formed by heaped-up ruins; in construct singular with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix, it yields the singular possession form "their ruin-mound." The rendering preserves the root idea of heaping while reflecting the singular form with plural possessive. |
