SIBI-P1 Translation H3513-01
I will make weighty
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel (intensive), imperfect, 1st person common singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem gives an intensive/causative nuance from the root "to be heavy," yielding "to make heavy" in an intensified sense. The imperfect 1st person singular is rendered "I will," preserving both person and verbal force while retaining the root concept of weightiness rather than substituting a context-specific gloss like "glorify." |
