SIBI-P1 Translation H4196-03
the sacrifice-place
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ-). Derived מִ- locative formation from root זבח. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִזְבֵּחַ is a prefixed מִ- form meaning "place of" from the root זבח (to slaughter/sacrifice), thus "place of sacrifice." The prefixed definite article הַ- requires the rendering "the," and the masculine singular absolute form is preserved as a singular concrete site. |
