SIBI-P1 Translation H6242-01
in twenty
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ + cardinal number adjective, plural, absolute; gender common. |
| Rendering Rationale | The base form עֶשְׂרִים denotes the cardinal number "twenty," derived from the root meaning "to be ten" (two tens). The prefixed בְּ adds the prepositional sense "in/at/with," here rendered simply as "in" to preserve the morphology without contextual expansion. |

| Rationale | P1 is acceptable here as 'in twenty', consistent with Hebrew idiom for dating by day of month, since no ordinal form is present in the Hebrew. |
