to the settled city
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ל with definite article + feminine singular common noun in absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun denotes a permanent, organized settlement distinguished from open country. The prefixed ל with assimilated article (לָ) is rendered "to the," preserving the preposition and definiteness, while "settled city" reflects the concept of an established, protected urban center. |
