at the appointed time

Morphological NotesPreposition כָּ (temporal: at/according to) + noun עֵת, common singular absolute.
Rendering RationaleThe noun עֵת denotes a marked or appointed time or occasion; the prefixed כָּ functions temporally as "at/according to," yielding "at the appointed time." The singular absolute form is preserved in English as a singular temporal expression.
