| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ + feminine singular construct noun מַשְׂכִּית + 3rd masculine singular suffix; noun derived from שׂכה. |
| Rendering Rationale | מַשְׂכִּית denotes a deliberately fashioned visible representation—something made to be seen. The construct form with 3ms suffix and prefixed בְּ yields "in his carved image," preserving the singular feminine noun and possessive morphology. |
