| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְ ("in") + proper noun, masculine singular place name. |
| Rendering Rationale | The prefixed בְ marks the preposition "in," attached to the proper place name Shiloh. Although the name derives from a root meaning tranquility or rest, its primary biblical usage is geographical, so the rendering preserves the proper noun while reflecting the prefixed preposition. |
