house-of

Morphological NotesMasculine singular noun in construct state (HNcmsc); also appears as a proper noun element (HNp) in compound place names (e.g., Bethel = "House-of El"). The construct form shortens from בַּיִת to בֵּית.
Rendering Rationaleבֵּית is the masculine singular construct form of בַּיִת (house), derived from the root בנה (to build). The rendering "house-of" preserves both the core idea of something built/established and the construct state, which grammatically requires a following genitive ("house of …"). The masculine singular form is maintained in English by the singular noun "house."
