| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ (“in”) + proper noun, masculine singular; no article; locative sense implied by the preposition. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the preposition בְּ (“in”) prefixed to the proper name מוֹאָב (Moab). As a proper national and territorial name with uncertain etymology, it is best preserved as “Moab,” with the prefixed preposition rendered straightforwardly. |
