Exegesis
The locative phrase be-veitah {בְּבֵיתָהּ | bə-ḇê-vāh} ‘in her house’ sets the scene for the negated verb lo-yishkenu {לֹא־יִשְׁכְּנ֥וּ | lōʾ-yiš-kə-nû} ‘not dwell’, which is plural to agree with ragleha {רַגְלֶיהָ | ra-ǧê-lā-hā} ‘her feet’. The progression from descriptive predicates to verbal negation underscores her restless and unruly nature.
Root and etymology
b-y-tbet–yod–tav
