SIBI-P1 Translation H8432-11
in its midst
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ + masculine singular noun in construct state + 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun תָּוֶךְ denotes the middle or interior portion—what is separated out as the center. In construct with the 3rd masculine singular suffix and prefixed בְּ, it yields "in its midst," preserving both the spatial sense of interior center and the pronominal possession. |
