in the oil
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב ("in/with") + definite article + masculine singular absolute noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שֶׁמֶן denotes liquid fat—especially olive oil—derived from the root meaning "to be fat, become rich." The prefixed ב with the definite article indicates location or instrument, yielding "in the oil" as a root-faithful, morphologically precise rendering. |
