the bleached-white linen
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular absolute with definite article (הַבּוּץ). |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the proposed root sense of whiteness and bleaching, highlighting the textile’s defining characteristic rather than a generic fabric. The definite article הַ is preserved as "the," and the masculine singular noun is expressed as a singular mass noun in English. |
