SIBI-P1 H4196-03
the slaughter-place
| Morphological Notes | Noun common masculine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ־). The מִ prefix marks a place/instrument noun pattern (miqtēl), indicating a מקום (place) of slaughter. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִזְבֵּחַ derives from the root זבח (z-b-ḥ), meaning "to slaughter" or "to sacrifice," and denotes the place where such sacrificial slaughter occurs. Rendering it as "the slaughter-place" preserves the concrete action embedded in the root while reflecting the masculine singular absolute form with the definite article ("the"). |
