in the grand hall of
| Root | יכל (y-k-l) |
| Core Meanings | capacity, ability, power, might, prevailing strength |
| Semantic Range | palace, royal residence, temple, sanctuary, great hall, seat of authority |
| Conceptual Significance | הֵיכָל 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 Notes | Noun common masculine singular construct (Ncmsc) with prefixed preposition בְּ ("in"). The construct state indicates the noun governs a following genitive relationship ("hall of …"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The 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. |
