Yerushalam
at Jerusalem
Jerusalem, the principal city associated with the ancient Israelites, serving as religious, political, and administrative center during various periods; the name designates both the physical urban center and, metonymically, its inhabitants, the Israelite polity, or its temple. While often referring to the geographic city, in poetic or prophetic contexts 'Jerusalem' can also symbolize the community, Zion, or broader covenantal concepts.

SIBI-P1 Translation H3389-01
in Yerushalem
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ (“in”) + proper noun, feminine singular place-name; dual-like ending -ַ͏ִם is lexical, not functional dual. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is the proper name יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם with prefixed בְּ (“in”), so the rendering preserves the locative preposition and retains the city’s name in a transliterated form that reflects its root associations of founding and wholeness. As a proper noun, it functions as a place-name rather than a descriptive phrase. |
