in depths of
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural construct noun from עָמֵק with prefixed preposition בְּ ("in"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The plural construct form עִמְקֵי denotes "depths of" (masculine plural in construct), and the prefixed בְּ adds "in." The rendering preserves the root idea of depth while reflecting both number and construct relationship. |
