there (in that place)
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew adverbial particle (HD); indeclinable; functions as a locative adverb meaning "there," sometimes extended to temporal sense "then." |
| Rendering Rationale | שָׁם is an indeclinable adverbial particle indicating location, derived from a demonstrative sense of place. The rendering "there (in that place)" preserves its deictic force, pointing to a specific location previously mentioned or implied. As an adverb (HD), it carries no gender, number, or person inflection, so the English likewise remains uninflected. |
