SIBI-P1 Translation H2416-26
your lives
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine plural construct + 2ms pronominal suffix from חַי (root חיה). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a masculine plural noun in construct from חַי ("living, life") with a 2nd person masculine singular suffix, literally "the lives of you." Preserving the plural reflects the Hebrew form, which often expresses the fullness or span of one’s lived life. |
