to restrain
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, infinitive construct with prefixed ל indicating purpose or result ("to restrain"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal infinitive construct with prefixed ל expresses the simple verbal action in its basic stem: "to restrain." This preserves the core root sense of actively holding back or preventing movement without adding contextual nuance. |
