to the human
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ל + masculine singular common noun absolute; definite article assimilated (לָאָדָם). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the preposition ל ("to") prefixed to the masculine singular noun אָדָם with the definite article assimilated, yielding "to the human." The rendering preserves the generic sense of a member of the human species while maintaining singular masculine morphology. |
