SIBI-P1 H7458-02
in famine
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun (absolute) רָעָב with prefixed preposition בְּ (“in, during, by”). No pronominal suffix. The form denotes a singular condition or state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun רָעָב is a masculine singular absolute form meaning "hunger" or, in an extended sense, "famine"—a condition of widespread hunger. The prefixed בְּ preposition is reflected by "in," preserving the singular sense of a state or condition of hunger affecting a land or people. |
