| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine singular, absolute, with prefixed conjunction וּ ('and'). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle masculine singular denotes an ongoing or characteristic action of resistance. Rendering it as "defying" preserves the root sense of willful opposition to authority while reflecting the participial, adjectival force. |
