SIBI-P1 Translation H7672-01
those becoming entangled
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Hithpaal stem; active participle; masculine plural; absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hithpaal stem conveys a reflexive or self-involving action, and the active participle masculine plural denotes "those who are in the process of" the action. Rendering it as "those becoming entangled" preserves the root imagery of interweaving while reflecting the reflexive, ongoing sense of mental bewilderment. |
