SIBI-P1 H3800-01
in mined gold
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ ("in") prefixed to a masculine singular noun (כֶּתֶם). The noun appears in absolute/construct form (Ncmsa/Ncmsc), with no pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun כֶּתֶם denotes gold as something carved or extracted from the earth—ore in its pure, refined state. Rendering it as "mined gold" preserves the root idea of extraction (k‑t‑m) while accurately reflecting the masculine singular noun with the prefixed preposition בְּ ("in"). |
