Gov
at Gob
Gôb — a place name, referring to a specific location mentioned in biblical narrative. The term denotes a locality, with its primary lexical sense being that of a geographical site rather than a common noun. There is no evidence the word denotes a 'pit' as a place feature in this specific case; rather, its use is as a proper name.

SIBI-P1 Translation H1359-01
in Gob
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב + proper masculine singular place name (Np). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the preposition ב ("in/at") prefixed to the proper place name גֹּב (Gob). Since SILEX identifies it as a locality rather than a common noun meaning "pit," the rendering preserves its status as a proper name while reflecting the prefixed preposition. |
