Footnotes

Jon. 1:12

The word בשלי (beshali) is a combination of two parts:

1. ב- (b-) is the preposition meaning "for" or "in."
2. שלי (sheli) is the possessive form of the pronoun "של" (shel), meaning "mine" or "belonging to me."

Together, בשלי (beshali) translates as "for my sake" or "for me," expressing something done for the benefit or purpose of the speaker. The form בשלי is used to convey ownership or personal benefit in a particular context.
