SIBI-P1 H7998-18

in the plunder

Morphological NotesNoun common masculine singular absolute (Ncmsa) with prefixed preposition בְּ and assimilated definite article, yielding בַּשָּׁלָל ("in the plunder").
Rendering RationaleThe noun שָׁלָל derives from the root שלל, meaning "to plunder" or "to strip away." The form is masculine singular absolute with a prefixed בְּ plus the definite article (בַּשָּׁלָל), so "in the plunder" accurately reflects the singular, definite noun and preserves the root sense of goods taken by force.
