| Morphological Notes | Preposition בַּ (in the) + masculine plural absolute noun שְׁעָרִים. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שַׁעַר denotes a gate or gateway as a point of access or reckoning. The plural masculine absolute form שְׁעָרִים means "gates," and with the prefixed preposition בַּ (in the), the form yields "in the gates," preserving both number and prepositional force. |
