SIBI-P1 Translation H1090-01
Bilhah
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular proper noun (personal name; also attested as a place name). |
| Rendering Rationale | This form is a feminine proper name. Although traditionally associated with the root בלה (to wear out, decay), the etymology is uncertain and likely non-Hebrew; therefore the name is preserved by transliteration rather than imposing a speculative root meaning. |
