SIBI-P1 H7198-01
with the bending-bow
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ (“in/with”) with assimilated definite article (בַּ־) + noun קֶשֶׁת, common feminine singular absolute. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun קֶשֶׁת (feminine singular absolute) appears here with the prefixed preposition בַּ־ (“with/in the”), which includes the definite article, yielding “with the.” Rendering it “bending-bow” preserves its connection to the root קשׁה, conveying the idea of tensioned hardness or stiffness that characterizes a bow. The singular form is maintained in English. |
