in the mingling dusk
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב + definite article + masculine singular common noun, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֶרֶב derives from the root meaning "to mix," referring to the mingling of day and night at sunset. The prefixed ב with definite article yields "in the," and the masculine singular absolute form is preserved as a singular time period. |
