SIBI-P1 H4264-06
the encampment
| Morphological Notes | Noun common masculine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ). Derived noun of place/action from the root חנה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מַחֲנֶה derives from the root חנה (“to encamp, to pitch a tent”). The form is masculine singular absolute with the definite article ("the"), so "the encampment" preserves both the definite sense and the core idea of a settled camp formed by those who have pitched themselves in place. |
