in gathering together
| Morphological Notes | Hithpael infinitive construct of אסף with prefixed preposition בְּ; reflexive/reciprocal verbal stem in construct form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hithpael infinitive construct expresses reflexive or reciprocal action, conveying the sense of assembling oneself or gathering together. The prefixed בְּ marks it as a gerundial phrase, hence "in gathering together," preserving both the root idea of collecting and the reflexive stem nuance. |
