SIBI-P1 Translation H1167-18
and upon him
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + preposition עַל + 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix |
| Rendering Rationale | The preposition עַל conveys the idea of elevation or position over/upon. With the conjunction וְ and the 3rd masculine singular suffix, it becomes "and upon him," preserving both the spatial-root sense and the pronominal morphology. |
