Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ + masculine plural construct noun אֶלֶף. Construct form אַלְפֵי indicates "thousands of" governing a following noun.
Rendering RationaleThe form בְּאַלְפֵי consists of the preposition בְּ ("in") attached to the masculine plural construct of אֶלֶף ("thousand, clan-unit"). The rendering "in thousands of" preserves the plural construct relationship ("thousands of …") and reflects the numerical and collective force inherent in the root.
