in burning-heat of
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular, construct state with prefixed preposition ב (“in”). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חָרוֹן derives from חרה (“to burn, be hot”) and denotes a state of burning heat, often metaphorical for intense anger. The construct singular form requires the relational sense “of,” and the prefixed בַּ marks “in,” yielding “in burning-heat of.” |
