SIBI-P1 Translation H1004-15
in the house of
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ + masculine singular noun in construct state (בֵּית). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בַּיִת derives from the root בנה, denoting a built structure or established household. The prefixed בְּ marks "in," and the construct singular form requires linkage to a following noun, hence "in the house of." |
