SIBI-P1 Translation H7812-08
those bowing themselves down
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hishtaphel stem (reflexive), active participle, masculine plural, absolute. |
| Rendering Rationale | The participle masculine plural is rendered as a verbal adjective, "those bowing," while "themselves" reflects the reflexive force of the Hishtaphel stem. "Bowing down" preserves the root’s core sense of physically lowering oneself in homage. |
