SIBI-P1 Translation H1065-01

in the weeping

Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ with definite article assimilated (בַּ־) + masculine singular common noun in the absolute state.
Rendering RationaleThe noun בְּכִי denotes the act or sound of weeping from the root בכה. The prefixed בַּ־ (in the) marks location or circumstance, so "in the weeping" preserves both the definite article and the prepositional form while retaining the root sense of audible lament.
