SIBI-P1 Translation H5771-14
their guilt-burdens
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common; plural construct form of עָוֺן with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix ("their"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root meaning "to twist" or "distort," referring to moral distortion that results in guilt and liability. The plural construct form with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix is preserved as "their" and expressed in the plural as "guilt-burdens," reflecting both wrongdoing and its consequent weight of liability. |
