SIBI-P1 H1366-01
in the boundary of
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ (“in”) prefixed to a masculine singular noun in the construct state (גְּבוּל). The construct form links the noun to a following genitive, indicating possession or specification (e.g., "boundary of [land/place]"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun גְּבוּל (masculine singular construct) derives from the root גבל, "to bound or limit," originally referring to a cord used to mark off territory. The construct form requires a following genitive (“of…”), and the prefixed בְּ means "in," yielding the faithful rendering "in the boundary of," which preserves both the root idea of delimitation and the grammatical form. |
