Common Translation

SIBI-P1 Translation H4427-01
in his reigning
| Morphological Notes | Qal infinitive construct of מלך with prefixed בְּ and 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix ('his'). |
| Rendering Rationale | The preposition בְּ attached to the Qal infinitive construct מָלְכ with a 3ms suffix yields a temporal or situational sense, literally 'in his reigning.' This preserves the root idea of exercising royal authority while reflecting the infinitive construct with pronominal suffix. |
