SIBI-P1 Translation H4725-38
and to the standing-place
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + preposition לְ with definite article (assimilated) + masculine singular noun, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | מָקוֹם derives from קום (“to stand, arise”) and denotes a place as a ‘standing-place.’ The prefixed conjunction וְ and preposition לַ with the definite article yield the full sense “and to the standing-place,” preserving singular and definiteness. |

and to the place
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 uses 'and to the standing-place', but 'standing-place' adds nuance not present in the general Hebrew word 'makom' here. In context, 'place' suffices, reflecting the generic sense. |
