| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְ + masculine singular noun in construct state (result noun from בחר). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִבְחָר denotes that which is chosen or selected as superior. The construct singular form requires the rendering to anticipate a following noun, hence "the choicest of," and the prefixed בְ adds "in." |
