SIBI-P1 Translation H7508-01
in Rephidim
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ ("in/at") + proper noun רְפִידִים; masculine plural form in morphology but functioning as a singular place-name. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the prefixed preposition בְּ ("in/at") attached to the proper noun רְפִידִים (Rephidim). Although derived from a root meaning "to spread out" or "support," the lexical form functions exclusively as a geographic name, so it is rendered as the place-name with the prefixed preposition preserved. |
