in the fire

Morphological NotesCommon feminine singular noun (Ncbsa). Frequently מופיע with prefixed conjunction וָ ("and") or preposition בָּ with the definite article (HRd), giving forms such as "and fire" or "in the fire." The noun itself remains feminine singular absolute.
Rendering RationaleThe noun אֵשׁ is a feminine singular absolute noun meaning "fire." In the attested forms here it most often appears with the prefixed preposition בָּ ("in/with") and the definite article, yielding "in the fire." This preserves both the singular form and the definiteness indicated by the morphology.
