between (in distinction of)
| Morphological Notes | Preposition; historically the construct form of an otherwise unused noun derived from בין. Functions syntactically as a relational preposition; no gender, number, or person marking. |
| Rendering Rationale | בֵּין derives from the root בין, "to discern, distinguish." Though functioning as a preposition, it literally reflects the idea of making a distinction between entities. The rendering "between (in distinction of)" preserves this root sense of separation and discernment while reflecting its prepositional use in the given form. |
