SIBI-P1 Translation H1120-03
and from Bamoth-Heights
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + preposition מִן + proper noun, feminine plural form functioning as a place name. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form combines the conjunction ו (and) and preposition מִן (from) with the proper noun Bamoth, a plural form derived from "high places." Retaining "Bamoth" while appending "Heights" preserves both its proper-name function and its root sense of elevated places. |
