SIBI-P1 Translation H168-16
in a tent
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב + noun, common masculine singular (construct form); no article; singular portable dwelling. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אֹהֶל denotes a portable dwelling derived from the root meaning "to tent" or "to dwell in a tent." The prefixed ב marks location ("in"), and the masculine singular form preserves the sense of a single tent-dwelling. |
