Morphological NotesPrefixed preposition בְּ ("in/at") + masculine plural (dual-form) noun מַיִם in the construct state (Ncmpc). Though plural in form, מַיִם often functions as a mass noun.
Rendering RationaleThe noun מַיִם is morphologically masculine plural (often dual in form) and here appears in the construct state, joined to a following noun. The prefixed preposition בְּ means "in" or "at," so "in the waters of" preserves both the plural form and the construct relationship while reflecting the core sense of flowing waters.
