SIBI-P1 Translation H7356-19
and tender compassions of
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + masculine plural noun in construct state (common noun, mpl construct). |
| Rendering Rationale | The plural construct form רַחֲמֵי expresses multiple or abundant acts/feelings of compassion, rooted in the womb-imagery of רחם. The construct state requires the relational sense "of," and the prefixed ו adds "and." |

and compassions of
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'and tender compassions of' is slightly redundant and adds 'tender.' The base sense is 'compassions' or 'mercies'; 'compassions' aligns more closely with the typical rendering and context. |
