SIBI-P1 H1116-17
to the high-place
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ל with assimilated definite article (לַ) + noun common feminine singular absolute (בָּמָה). |
| Rendering Rationale | The 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." |
