in the grand halls of
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב + masculine plural construct noun (common); plural construct form of הֵיכָל. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun הֵיכָל denotes a monumental palace or temple structure; the masculine plural construct form הֵיכְלֵי is rendered "grand halls of" to preserve number and construct state, and the prefixed בְ is reflected as "in." The rendering retains the sense of imposing, authoritative buildings within its semantic range. |
