| Morphological Notes | Noun, common gender, singular construct with prefixed preposition בְּ ("in/by"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חַי in the singular construct denotes "life of" or "living of," and the prefixed preposition בְּ adds the sense "in" or "by." This rendering preserves both the construct relationship and the core root meaning of life or living. |
