his inner-belly
| Root | בטנ (b-ṭ-n) |
| Core Meanings | hollowness, interior cavity, belly, womb, inner part |
| Semantic Range | belly, abdomen, womb, inner body, inward part, figurative seat of emotion or origin |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical thought, the בֶּטֶן is the place of gestation, hidden formation, and deep inward reality. It can signify physical birth, divine creation in the womb, or metaphorically the inner source of thoughts and desires. |
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular noun in construct form (בִּטְנֵי/בִּטְנְ) with 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix (-וֹ), yielding "his belly/womb." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בֶּטֶן denotes the hollow interior of the body, especially the womb or belly. Rendering it as "inner-belly" preserves the root sense of an internal cavity while the possessive "his" accurately reflects the 3rd person masculine singular suffix in the morphology. |
