SIBI-P1 Translation H1389-02
in (the) hill of
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ + feminine singular construct noun גִּבְעַת from גִּבְעָה (hill). |
| Rendering Rationale | The preposition בְּ means "in," and גִבְעַת is feminine singular construct of גִּבְעָה (hill), from the root meaning "to be elevated." The construct state requires "of," yielding "in (the) hill of" to preserve both elevation sense and morphology. |
