SIBI-P1 Translation H935-42
my coming
| Morphological Notes | Qal infinitive construct with 1st person common singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal infinitive construct of בוא with a 1st person singular suffix expresses the verbal action as a noun with possession, hence "my coming." This preserves the core sense of movement toward or entry inherent in the root. |
