Morphological NotesPreposition ב ("in") with assimilated definite article ("the") + noun חָצֵר, common gender singular in construct state. The construct form indicates it governs a following genitive noun.
Rendering RationaleThe noun חָצֵר derives from the root חצר, "to enclose" or "surround," and refers to a space bounded in by walls or fencing. The prefixed בַּ means "in the," and the form חֲצַר reflects the singular construct state, indicating possession or relation ("of"). Thus, "in the enclosed court of" preserves both the root sense of enclosure and the construct relationship required by the morphology.
