SIBI-P1 H5612-02
in the record-scroll
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ ("in") with assimilated definite article ("the") + masculine singular noun סֵפֶר in the absolute state; hence "in the" + singular noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun סֵפֶר derives from the root ספר, which conveys counting, recounting, and recording. "Record-scroll" preserves this root sense of something that recounts or records. The prefixed בַּ marks "in the" with the definite article, and the noun is masculine singular absolute, reflected in the singular "scroll." |
