SIBI-P1 Translation H1004-45
from the built-house
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן (from) + masculine singular construct noun בֵּית (construct form of בַּיִת). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בַּיִת derives from בנה, denoting a constructed structure or the established household arising from it. The prefixed מִן (“from”) with singular masculine construct form yields “from the built-house,” preserving both the architectural and familial sense rooted in building. |
