SIBI-P1 Translation H1071-03
and Beker
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וָ (and) + proper masculine singular noun בֶכֶר (personal name). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a proper masculine personal name derived from the root בכר but used solely as a name in the Hebrew Bible. The prefixed conjunction וָ is preserved as "and," and the name is transliterated since it functions as a proper noun rather than a common noun meaning "firstborn." |
