SIBI-P1 Translation H2181-12
like the causing-to-prostitute
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil infinitive construct of זנה with prefixed כְּ preposition ("like/as"); causative verbal noun form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense, "to cause to commit prostitution." The infinitive construct with prefixed כְּ conveys comparison ("like/as"), so the rendering reflects both the causative force and verbal noun form. |
