SIBI-P1 H7130-21
their inner-midst
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common masculine singular construct (קֶרֶב) + 3rd feminine plural pronominal suffix (־נָה), meaning "of them" (fem.). Occurs with prefixed prepositions in context but here stands as construct with suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | קֶרֶב derives from the root קרב, expressing nearness or what is closest/inside. As a masculine singular noun in construct with a 3rd feminine plural suffix, it denotes "the inner part of them (fem.)"—hence "their inner-midst," preserving both the root sense of nearness and the plural feminine possession. |
