| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ (in) + adjective masculine singular absolute רִאשׁוֹן. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective רִאשׁוֹן denotes what is first or foremost in time, order, or rank, derived from the root meaning "head" or "beginning." With the prefixed בְּ preposition and masculine singular absolute form, it is faithfully rendered "in the first," preserving both the locative preposition and the singular masculine morphology. |
