SIBI-P1 Translation H6440-11
her face
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, plural form (plural of extension) in construct state + 3rd feminine singular suffix; functions as singular in sense. |
| Rendering Rationale | פָּנֶי is the construct form of פָּנִים (face, surface, presence) from the root פנה, "to turn/face," with a 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix. The rendering "her face" preserves the concrete sense of what is turned outward and visible, while reflecting the feminine singular suffix. |
