lion's cub
A young animal, specifically the offspring or cub of a predatory animal such as a lion, bear, or wolf; especially used for a lion's whelp, denoting its youth and dependence. More broadly, used for the young offspring of other wild beasts in certain contexts. The word indicates both the physical smallness and immaturity of the animal, as well as its association with the lair or den where it is sheltered by its mother.

SIBI-P1 Translation H1482-01
Sojourn!
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperative, 2nd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperative masculine singular calls for a direct command based on the root meaning "to sojourn or dwell temporarily." "Sojourn!" preserves both the verbal force and the sense of temporary, dependent residence inherent in the root. |
