slaughter-place

Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcmsa). Formed with the מִ־ prefix, often indicating an instrument or place associated with the verbal root—here, a place of slaughter/sacrifice.
Rendering RationaleThe noun מִזְבֵּחַ derives from the root זבח ("to slaughter, sacrifice") and denotes the place where sacrificial slaughter occurs. Rendering it as "slaughter-place" preserves the concrete action embedded in the root while reflecting the masculine singular absolute form (a single, specific place).
