to her house
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in construct state (בֵּית) with 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix; prefixed לְ preposition. |
| Rendering Rationale | בַּיִת derives from the root בנה (“to build”) and denotes a built structure or established household. The construct form with 3rd feminine singular suffix yields “her house,” and the prefixed לְ adds the sense “to/for,” hence “to her house.” |
