their hereditary landholding
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular noun in construct state + 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אֲחֻזָּה denotes something seized and held as a lasting possession, especially land. The feminine singular construct with 3rd person masculine plural suffix yields "their" plus a singular held estate, hence "their hereditary landholding." |
