in the house of
| Root | בנה (b-n-h) |
| Core Meanings | to build, to establish, to construct, to set up |
| Semantic Range | house, dwelling, household, family line, dynasty, temple, palace, interior space, administrative house |
| Conceptual Significance | בַּיִת signifies more than a physical building; it often denotes a household, lineage, or covenantal dynasty ("house of David"), and can refer to the temple as the "house" of יהוה. It conveys the idea of an established sphere—familial, royal, or sacred—built and sustained within covenantal life. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְ ("in") prefixed to masculine singular construct noun בֵּית (from בַּיִת). Construct state indicates possession or close association with a following noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בֵּית is the masculine singular construct form of בַּיִת (house), derived from the root בנה, "to build." The prefixed preposition בְ means "in," and the construct state requires the sense "house of," linking it to what follows. "In the house of" preserves both the built-structure sense of the root and the grammatical construct relationship. |
