| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ + feminine singular common noun in construct state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun תְּחִלָּה derives from חלל in the sense of "to open, to begin," denoting the opening or outset of something. In construct with the prefixed בְּ, it yields the sense "at the beginning of," preserving both the root idea of initiation and the construct relationship. |
