SIBI-P1 Translation H1270-01
in iron
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בַּ (beth, likely with assimilated article) + masculine singular absolute noun בַּרְזֶל. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בַּרְזֶל denotes iron as a hard, strong metal or iron implement; the prefixed בַּ preposition expresses location or instrumentality, yielding "in iron" as a direct, root-faithful rendering. The masculine singular absolute form is preserved in the simple singular "iron." |
