in the new-moon month

Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ ("in") with assimilated definite article (בַּ־) + noun חֹדֶשׁ, masculine singular absolute (Ncmsa). No pronominal suffix; definite by article.
Rendering RationaleThe noun חֹדֶשׁ derives from the root חדש, expressing newness or renewal, originally referring to the renewed moon. The prefixed בַּ־ combines the preposition "in" with the definite article "the," and the noun is masculine singular absolute, hence "in the new-moon month," preserving both its singular form and its root sense of renewal.
