front breast
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular, construct state (HNcmsc). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חָזֶה denotes the prominent front chest, especially of sacrificial animals; "front breast" preserves its sense as the visibly forward part of the torso, reflecting its derivation from the root "to see." The masculine singular construct form is rendered as a singular noun suitable for possession ("breast of"). |
