to the high-place

Morphological NotesPreposition ל with assimilated definite article (לַ) + noun common feminine singular absolute (בָּמָה).
Rendering RationaleThe noun בָּמָה means a raised or elevated place, preserving the root idea of height. The prefixed לַ combines the preposition ל ("to") with the definite article, yielding "to the," and the form is feminine singular absolute, reflected in the singular rendering "high-place."
