SIBI-P1 H6256-01

at the appointed time

Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ (“in/at”) prefixed with assimilated definite article to feminine singular noun עֵת (Ncbsa). The form is singular, absolute, and definite by virtue of the article.
Rendering RationaleThe noun עֵת is feminine singular absolute, here with a prefixed בְּ and the definite article (בָּעֵת), yielding “at the time.” Rendering it as “at the appointed time” preserves the sense of a specific, definite season or occasion inherent in the root while accurately reflecting the singular, definite form with the preposition.
