SIBI-P1 H7723-01
in the desolating-emptiness
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב ("in") with assimilated definite article ("the") + masculine singular noun שָׁוְא in the absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שָׁוְא denotes emptiness or falsehood with a destructive nuance. Rendering it as "desolating-emptiness" preserves both its sense of vanity and its root idea of ruin or devastation. The prefixed ב with the assimilated definite article ("in the") and the masculine singular absolute form are reflected in the singular, definite English phrase. |
