SIBI-P1 Translation H4904-14
lyings of
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural common noun in construct state from מִשְׁכָּב (pattern מִקטָל), indicating places or acts of lying down. |
| Rendering Rationale | The plural construct form preserves the root idea of acts or states of lying down rather than a single bed. Rendering it as "lyings of" maintains both the verbal root sense (שכב) and the masculine plural construct morphology. |
