SIBI-P1 Translation H7987-01
in the quiet seclusion
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב with definite article + masculine singular common noun, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שְׁלִי denotes a state or space of undisturbed quiet or tranquil privacy derived from the root שׁלה. The prefixed ב with the definite article yields "in the," preserving the masculine singular absolute noun as a concrete state rather than an adverb. |
