in the yearly cycles
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב + definite article + feminine plural absolute noun |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שָׁנִים is feminine plural, denoting multiple annual cycles; the prefixed בַּ־ adds "in the" with the definite article. "Yearly cycles" reflects the root idea of repetition and preserves the plural form. |
