his happinesses
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural noun in construct form (אַשְׁרֵי/אַשְׁרָי) with 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אֶשֶׁר denotes a state of well-being or felicity; here it appears in the masculine plural construct with a 3rd masculine singular suffix, literally "happinesses of him." The plural intensifies or aggregates the condition, and the suffix requires the rendering "his." |
