SIBI-P1 Translation H5457-02
those prostrating themselves
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic verb, Peal (simple active) participle, masculine plural, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Peal active participle masculine plural denotes "ones who are prostrating." "Those prostrating themselves" preserves the physical act of bowing in homage inherent in the root and reflects the plural participial form. |
