SIBI-P1 Translation H2809-01
in Heshbon
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ ("in") + proper noun feminine singular חֶשְׁבּוֹן (city name). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a proper toponym derived from the root חשב, functioning conventionally as a city name. The prefixed בְּ marks the preposition "in," so the rendering preserves both the locative prefix and the established place name while retaining its root connection to reckoning or accounting in etymology. |
