on his head
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב + masculine singular construct noun רֹאשׁ + 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun רֹאשׁ means "head" or "top." In construct with the 3ms suffix it becomes "his head," and the prefixed preposition ב conveys a locative sense, here rendered naturally as "on," yielding "on his head." |
