in his step

Morphological NotesPrefixed preposition בְּ + feminine singular construct noun + 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix.
Rendering RationaleThe noun אָשֻׁר denotes a single step or stride, derived from the root meaning "to go straight/advance." The feminine singular construct with 3ms suffix yields "his step," and the prefixed בַּ adds "in," preserving both root sense and morphology.
