with my bread
| Morphological Notes | Common noun, singular construct, with prefixed ב preposition and 1cs pronominal suffix ("my"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun לֶחֶם means "bread" or "food" as staple sustenance. It is singular construct with a 1st person common singular suffix ("my bread") and prefixed בְּ, which most basically denotes "in/with," here rendered "with" to preserve the prepositional force without adding context. |
