SIBI-P1 Translation H8605-11
his interceding prayer
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular noun in construct state with 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun תְּפִלָּה derives from פלל, highlighting the act of intervening or interceding before a deity. The construct form with a 3rd masculine singular suffix is preserved by rendering it as "his," and "interceding prayer" reflects both the root sense and the noun’s function as an act of addressed petition. |
