SIBI-P1 H1242-06
to the dawn-breaking morning
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ל with assimilated definite article (לַ) + noun בֹּקֶר, common masculine singular absolute. Functions adverbially as a temporal expression: "to/at the morning." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בֹּקֶר derives from the root בקר in the sense of breaking forth, referring to the breaking of day. The prefixed לַ־ is the preposition ל ("to/for") with the definite article assimilated, yielding "to the." The rendering preserves the singular form and highlights the root idea of "breaking" inherent in "morning." |
