v. 1 – The construct chain וְיֹ֣שְׁבֵי בָֽהּ contains a prepositional phrase (בָֽהּ) as its dependent. As noted by GKC, "The construct state ... is frequently employed ... as a connecting form, even apart from the genitive relation; so especially - (1) Before prepositions, particularly in elevated (prophetic or poetic) style" (§130a; cf. Ps 2:12).
