of Destruction-of-El
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine singular noun (personal name) with prefixed preposition בְ ("of"). No pronominal suffix; construct relationship indicated by context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name בְתוּאֵל (Bethuel) appears here with a prefixed preposition בְ, meaning "of," and is a proper masculine singular noun (HNp). The rendering "Destruction-of-El" reflects the likely derivation from the root בתה (to lay waste, destroy) combined with אֵל (God), preserving the root sense within the personal name while accurately reflecting the prefixed relational form. |
