at his head

Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ + masculine singular construct noun רֹאשׁ + 3ms pronominal suffix וֹ ("his"). The construct form links the noun directly to the suffix, indicating possession.
Rendering RationaleThe noun רֹאשׁ ("head, top, chief") appears in the masculine singular construct with a 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix ("his"), preceded by the preposition בְּ ("in/at"). "At his head" preserves the concrete spatial sense of the root while accurately reflecting the masculine singular noun and 3ms possession.
