to trade in grain
| Morphological Notes | Qal infinitive construct with prefixed ל preposition; active verbal form expressing purpose or action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal infinitive construct with prefixed ל expresses the verbal idea in its simple active sense: engaging in the commerce of grain. The rendering preserves the denominative meaning derived from שֶׁבֶר (grain) rather than the primary sense "to break." |
