in uprightnesses
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ + masculine plural common noun, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מֵישָׁר derives from ישר, expressing straightness or moral uprightness. The masculine plural absolute form מֵישָׁרִים, with prefixed בְּ, is rendered with an English plural ('uprightnesses') to preserve the morphology, even though the plural often functions abstractly. |
