in the appointed time of

Rootעת (ʿ-t)
Core Meaningstime, season, appointed time, occasion
Semantic Rangetime, point in time, season, appointed time, occasion, proper or fitting moment
Conceptual Significanceעֵת frequently marks divinely appointed or fitting times in biblical thought, underscoring that events unfold according to ordained seasons and purposes rather than by chance.
Morphological NotesNoun, common feminine singular construct (עֵת) with prefixed preposition בְּ (“in”). The construct state links the noun to a following genitive (“time of …”).
Rendering RationaleThe noun עֵת denotes a specific time or season, often with the sense of an appointed or fitting moment. The form is feminine singular construct with the prefixed preposition בְּ (“in”), so the rendering “in the appointed time of” preserves the singular form and the construct relationship, which anticipates a following complement.
