house-of
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in construct state (HNcmsc); also attested as a proper noun (HNp) in some occurrences. Construct form links this noun to a following genitive. |
| Rendering Rationale | בֵּית is the masculine singular construct form of בַּיִת (house), derived from the root בנה "to build." Rendering it as "house-of" preserves the construct relationship (indicating possession or association) while retaining the core sense of a built dwelling or established household. |
