in the mighty ram
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב + masculine singular absolute noun אַיִל; definite by prefixed article assimilation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אַיִל (masculine singular) concretely expresses the root idea of strength as a vigorous male ram; the prefixed ב indicates "in." "Mighty ram" preserves the core sense of embodied strength while reflecting the singular masculine form. |
