his prescribed statute
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun in construct form with 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֹק denotes that which is inscribed or decreed—an established, binding regulation. The singular masculine form with 3ms suffix requires the rendering "his," yielding "his prescribed statute" to reflect both root meaning and morphology. |
