in the deep valley of
| Root | עמק (ʿ-m-q) |
| Core Meanings | depth, deep place, profundity, lowness |
| Semantic Range | valley, dale, broad depression, lowland plain, fertile basin between hills |
| Conceptual Significance | Valleys in the Hebrew Bible are often sites of agriculture, travel routes, and decisive battles. As "deep places," they can symbolize both fertility and vulnerability, humility and testing, contrasting with the security or prominence of mountains. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְ ("in") prefixed to a masculine singular noun in the construct state (Ncmsc). The construct form indicates possession or specification by a following term. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֵמֶק derives from the root עמק, conveying the idea of depth or a deepened place. Rendering it as "deep valley" preserves this root sense rather than using a flatter geographical term alone. The prefixed בְ means "in," and the construct singular form is reflected by "of," indicating it is grammatically bound to a following noun. |
