in the hill-height
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ ("in") with assimilated definite article + feminine singular noun/proper name גִּבְעָה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The prefixed בַּ indicates "in the," and גִּבְעָה is a feminine singular noun meaning "hill" from the root expressing elevation. "Hill-height" preserves the sense of raised prominence inherent in the root while reflecting the definite form. |
