SIBI-P1 H5892-12
in the watch-cities of
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ ("in") + noun עִיר in feminine plural construct form (עָרֵי). The construct state requires a following genitive complement ("of ..."). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עִיר ("city") is traditionally linked to the root עור, conveying wakefulness or vigilance, suggesting a guarded or watchful settlement. The form is feminine plural construct with the prefixed preposition בְּ ("in"), so the rendering "in the watch-cities of" preserves both the root sense of vigilance and the grammatical plural construct relationship. |
