SIBI-P1 Translation H6010-11
like a deep valley
| Morphological Notes | Preposition כְּ ("like/as") + masculine singular absolute noun עֵמֶק. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֵמֶק denotes a deeply set, broad lowland derived from the root meaning "to be deep." The prefixed כְּ adds comparison, so the form conveys similarity to a single deep valley in the masculine singular. |

as a valley
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'like a deep valley' adds 'deep' not present in the Hebrew, which simply reads 'valley.' Best rendered as 'as a valley' to match the prepositional phrase and noun in context. |
