SIBI-P1 Translation H6256-19
at the appointed time
| Morphological Notes | Preposition כָּ (temporal: at/according to) + noun עֵת, common singular absolute. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֵת denotes a marked or appointed time or occasion; the prefixed כָּ functions temporally as "at/according to," yielding "at the appointed time." The singular absolute form is preserved in English as a singular temporal expression. |
