the raised highways
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, feminine plural absolute with definite article (הַ). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מְסִלָּה derives from סלל, "to raise or heap up," denoting an elevated or built-up roadway. The feminine plural absolute form with the definite article is reflected in "the" and the plural "highways," preserving both morphology and root sense. |
