in the enclosed garden
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ (in) with definite article assimilation + common noun, singular absolute. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun גַּן derives from the root גנן, emphasizing a protected or enclosed cultivated space rather than a generic garden. The prefixed בַּ indicates "in the," preserving the singular absolute form with definite article assimilation. |
