Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ ("at/in") + noun רֹאשׁ (masculine singular construct) + 3rd masculine plural pronominal suffix ם ("their"). Strong’s H7218. Occurs eight times in this form.
Rendering RationaleThe noun רֹאשׁ ("head, top, chief") with the 3rd masculine plural suffix (-ם, "their") forms "their head." The prefixed preposition בְּ ("in/at") yields "at their head," preserving both the core image of the head as the leading or foremost position and the masculine plural possessive sense required by the morphology (Ncmsc + Sp3mp).
