SIBI-P1 Translation H4519-07
and Forgetfulness-Causer
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine singular noun; hiphil participial form used as a personal/tribal name; prefixed conjunction וּ ("and"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name מְנַשֶּׁה derives from the hiphil participle of נשה, meaning "one who causes to forget." The prefixed וּ is the conjunction "and," so the rendering preserves both the causative participial force and the conjunction. |
