dwelling-place of
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the construct state (HNcmsc), indicating a "dwelling-place of" someone or something that follows. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִשְׁכָּן derives from the root שכן, "to dwell" or "to abide," and denotes a place of dwelling. The morphology (masculine singular construct) requires the sense "dwelling-place of," expressing possession or association with what follows in context. This preserves both the root idea of abiding and the grammatical construct form. |
