in the night
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב + masculine singular common noun in determined (emphatic) state (Aramaic). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun לֵילְיָא is masculine singular in the determined (emphatic) state, indicating a definite "night," and the prefixed ב marks location, yielding "in the night." The rendering preserves both the definiteness and the locative preposition while reflecting the root sense of enveloping darkness. |
