SIBI-P1 Translation H6647-02
he will immerse himself
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Hithpaal (reflexive) stem; imperfect; 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hithpaal stem conveys reflexive action, so the verb expresses the subject acting upon himself in immersion. The imperfect 3rd masculine singular form is rendered as "he will immerse himself," preserving both reflexive stem and masculine singular morphology. |
