| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב ("in") prefixed to a masculine singular noun in the construct state (Ncmsc). The construct form indicates possession or association, "record/scroll of…". |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun סֵפֶר derives from the root ספר, meaning to count, recount, or record. Rendering it as "scroll-record" preserves the sense of something written that recounts or enumerates. The form is masculine singular construct with the prefixed preposition ב ("in"), requiring the relational sense "of" to complete the construct chain. |
