SIBI-P1 H1642-01
in Rolling-Land (Gerar)
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, place (Np) with prefixed preposition בִּ ("in"); singular geographic name. |
| Rendering Rationale | The proper name גְּרָר (Gerar) is likely derived from the root גרר, "to drag" or "to roll," suggesting the sense of a rolling or drawn-out land. The prefixed בִּ indicates the preposition "in," so the rendering preserves both the locative function and the probable root imagery embedded in the place name. |
