SIBI-P1 H4557-01
in the tally of
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in construct state (מִסְפַּר) with prefixed preposition בְּ (“in/by”). Construct form links the noun to a following genitive, indicating what is being counted or enumerated. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִסְפָּר derives from the root ספר, "to count or recount," and denotes a counted total or enumeration. The masculine singular construct form (Ncmsc) requires a following genitive (“of …”), and the prefixed בְּ conveys "in" or "by." Thus, "in the tally of" preserves both the counting sense of the root and the construct relationship. |
