to slaughter for sacrifice
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, infinitive construct with prefixed ל ("to"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal infinitive construct with prefixed ל expresses the verbal idea "to slaughter." The root זבח specifically denotes ritual slaughter for sacrificial purposes, so the rendering preserves both the physical act and its cultic function. |
