SIBI-P1 Translation H6453-05
like the Passover-rite
| Morphological Notes | Preposition כ (with definite article assimilation) + masculine singular absolute noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The preposition כ with the assimilated article yields "like the," attached to the masculine singular noun פֶּסַח. "Passover-rite" preserves the technical cultic sense of the noun as the ritual observance rooted in the act of passing over or sparing. |
