SIBI-P1 Translation H7311-61
and being high
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine singular absolute, with prefixed conjunction וְ/וָ meaning "and." |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle masculine singular of רום denotes one who is in a state of being high or elevated. Rendering it as "being high" preserves the stative-active force of the Qal and reflects the participial form, while the prefixed conjunction adds "and." |
