touching
To touch, make contact with, or reach someone or something, either physically or metaphorically. In various contexts, נָגַע can denote merely making contact, approaching or reaching a person, place, or object, or bringing about an effect through touching (such as transfer of impurity, blessing, or disease). It can also indicate striking, injuring, or inflicting harm, either by physical violence or as divine punishment, and is sometimes used euphemistically for sexual relations. Thus, the semantic range covers ordinary physical touch, reaching, striking, affliction, or the conveyance of a condition or status through contact.

SIBI-P1 Translation H5060-24
the one who touches
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, active participle, masculine singular, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle masculine singular denotes an ongoing or characteristic action, rendered as a verbal adjective: "the one who touches." This preserves the root idea of making contact or reaching without narrowing the sense to a specific context such as striking or afflicting. |
