throughout their generations
A period or span of human life, typically denoting a 'generation'—the people living at a particular time, or the duration of their life-cycle. Also denotes the recurring cycle or sequence of generations in human history. Sometimes used with broader reference to the idea of an 'age' or 'epoch,' occasionally extending to mean 'posterity.' In rare cases, a sense related to 'habitation' or 'dwelling' is attested, likely derivative from the primary temporal sense.

SIBI-P1 Translation H1755-17
for their generations
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ + masculine plural construct noun דֹּרוֹת + 3rd person masculine plural suffix ם; "to/for their generations." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun דּוֹר denotes a recurring cycle of human life—a generation. The plural construct with 3mp suffix and prefixed לְ expresses relation or duration, yielding "for their generations," preserving both the cyclical root sense and the possessive plural morphology. |
