SIBI-P1 H68-09

with the building-stones

Morphological NotesPreposition ב + definite article (assimilated) + noun common feminine plural absolute of אֶבֶן (H68). The plural form אֲבָנִים is feminine; the prefixed article makes it definite: "the stones."
Rendering RationaleThe form בָּאֲבָנִים consists of the preposition ב ("with/by/in") prefixed to the definite feminine plural noun אֲבָנִים ("the stones"). Rendering it as "with the building-stones" preserves the feminine plural definiteness and reflects the root’s association with building and structural stone.
