SIBI-P1 H1285-22
in the cut covenant
| Morphological Notes | Prefixed preposition ב with assimilated definite article (בַּ) + noun common feminine singular absolute (בְּרִית). The form is singular and definite: "in the covenant." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בְּרִית (feminine singular absolute) derives from a root associated with cutting, reflecting the ancient practice of cutting animals to ratify a binding pact. The prefixed בַּ (with assimilated definite article) is rendered "in the," preserving both the preposition and definiteness, while "cut covenant" retains the root imagery behind the term. |
