in the broad valley
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב + definite article + masculine singular common noun in absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֵמֶק denotes a deeply set, low-lying cultivated valley derived from the root meaning "to be deep." The prefixed ב with definite article yields "in the" broad valley, preserving the masculine singular absolute form. |
