SIBI-P1 H1242-01

in the dawn-break

Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ ("in") with assimilated definite article ("the") + noun masculine singular absolute בֹּקֶר. The form is definite and singular.
Rendering RationaleThe noun בֹּקֶר derives from the root בקר, conveying the idea of breaking forth or emerging, as light breaks through darkness. Rendering it as "dawn-break" preserves this root imagery of breaking. The prefixed בַּ־ (preposition + definite article) is reflected by "in the," and the singular form (masculine singular absolute) is maintained with the singular "dawn-break."
