SIBI-P1 Translation H727-02
in the gathering-chest
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב + definite article + masculine singular absolute noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אָרוֹן derives from the root ארה (“to gather, collect”), denoting a receptacle that gathers or holds items. The prefixed בָּ marks the preposition "in the," and the singular absolute noun is rendered as "gathering-chest" to preserve the root sense while reflecting its function as a container. |
