SIBI-P1 Translation H6010-05
in a deep valley
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ + masculine singular noun in construct state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֵמֶק denotes a deeply set, low-lying valley derived from the root meaning "to be deep." The prefixed בְּ indicates location ("in"), and the singular construct form preserves the sense of a specific deep valley without adding definiteness. |
