in the grand hall of

Rootיכל (y-k-l)
Core Meaningscapacity, ability, power, might, prevailing strength
Semantic Rangepalace, royal residence, temple, sanctuary, great hall, seat of authority
Conceptual Significanceהֵיכָל denotes the central hall of a palace or the sanctuary of YHWH’s temple, emphasizing majesty, authority, and the dwelling place of sovereign power—whether earthly or divine.
Morphological NotesNoun common masculine singular construct (Ncmsc) with prefixed preposition בְּ ("in"). The construct state indicates the noun governs a following genitive relationship ("hall of …").
Rendering RationaleThe noun הֵיכָל likely derives from the root יכל, conveying capacity or might, and refers to a large, imposing structure associated with power. Rendering it as "grand hall" preserves the sense of a place of magnitude and authority. The prefixed בְּ is reflected by "in," and the construct masculine singular form is preserved by the open-ended "of," indicating possession.
