SIBI-P1 Translation H6944-04
in holiness
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ + masculine singular noun קֹדֶשׁ (common noun; construct form in spelling); no pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun קֹדֶשׁ denotes the state or quality of being set apart as sacred. With the prefixed preposition בְּ (“in”), the form expresses location or sphere—thus “in holiness,” preserving the abstract root sense rather than specifying a particular place. |
