SIBI-P1 Translation H1875-07
his seeking
| Morphological Notes | Qal infinitive construct of דרש with 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal infinitive construct expresses the verbal action in its simple active sense, and the 3rd masculine singular suffix marks possession, yielding "his seeking." This preserves the root idea of intentional inquiry or pursuit. |
