| Morphological Notes | Preposition ל + masculine singular noun in construct state (maqtal pattern from בוא). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מָבוֹא is a maqtal form from בוא, denoting a place or point of entering. The prefixed ל marks direction (‘to’), and the construct state requires the sense ‘entrance-of,’ preserving its relational form. |
