SIBI-P1 Translation PFX-B-05
in them (masculine plural)
| Morphological Notes | Inseparable preposition ב with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix (Sp3mp). Functions adverbially or prepositionally to indicate location, sphere, instrumentality, or association. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the inseparable preposition ב (“in/within/by”) joined to the 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix ם (“them”). The rendering preserves the locative/instrumental force of ב and explicitly reflects the masculine plural referent indicated by the suffix. |

| Rationale | This preposition with pronoun suffix in context implies opposition. 'Against them' is the correct idiom here rather than a literal spatial meaning. |
