SIBI-P1 Translation H6471-18
his foot-beats
| Morphological Notes | Feminine plural noun in construct state with 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun פַּעַם derives from the root meaning "to strike/beat/step," and in plural construct with a 3ms suffix denotes repeated strikes or steps belonging to him. "His foot-beats" preserves both the root sense of rhythmic striking and the masculine singular possessive. |
