| Morphological Notes | Preposition/adverb (HR); indeclinable form with no gender, number, or person inflection; often used with pronominal suffixes in other occurrences to indicate possession (e.g., "under him," "in your place"). |
| Rendering Rationale | תַּחַת is an indeclinable preposition/adverb derived from a root denoting what is lower or underneath. The rendering "beneath; in place of" preserves both its spatial sense (that which is under) and its extended substitutionary sense (one thing set under or in place of another), while reflecting its function as a prepositional form without gender or number marking. |
