| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב + definite article + masculine singular absolute noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun צָמָא denotes the state or condition of thirst derived from the root צמא (“to thirst”). The prefixed בַּ marks the definite article with preposition (“in the”), and the masculine singular absolute form is preserved by rendering it as a singular state: “the thirst.” |
