SIBI-P1 Translation H540-02
proven faithful one
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Haphel (causative) stem, passive participle, masculine singular absolute (Aramaic). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Haphel passive participle denotes one who has been caused to be firm or confirmed. "Proven faithful one" reflects the causative-passive sense (made firm, established as reliable) while preserving the masculine singular participial form. |
