SIBI-P1 Translation H7433-01
in Heights-of-Gilead
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ ("in") + proper noun, feminine plural form רָמוֹת ("heights"), part of the place name רָמוֹת גִּלעָד. |
| Rendering Rationale | The base name רָמוֹת means "heights" (plural of a noun from רום, "to be high"), and here it appears with the prefixed preposition בְּ ("in"). The rendering preserves the plural "Heights" and the toponymic force of the fortified city in Gilead. |
