| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ + feminine singular construct noun from מִצְוָה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִצְוַת is feminine singular in construct, meaning "command-of," and the prefixed בְּ adds the sense "in/by." The rendering preserves the root idea of an authoritative directive while reflecting the construct relationship. |
