SIBI-P1 Translation H995-41
and one who gives discernment
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil active participle, masculine singular absolute, with prefixed conjunction וּ ("and"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys causation, so rather than simply "understanding," the participle denotes one who causes others to discern or understand. The masculine singular active participle is rendered as "one who gives discernment," with the prefixed conjunction reflected by "and." |
