SIBI-P1 Translation H561-09
to my declarations
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural construct noun אֵמֶר with 1cs suffix ("my"), prefixed with ל preposition ("to"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אֵמֶר denotes a spoken utterance or formal declaration; in the masculine plural construct with 1cs suffix it means "my declarations," and the prefixed ל adds the sense "to." This preserves both the root sense of declared speech and the full morphology. |
