SIBI-P1 Translation H7121-45
calling one
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, active participle, masculine singular, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle masculine singular denotes an ongoing or characteristic action, hence "calling one" to reflect the root idea of vocal summoning or proclaiming. This preserves both the verbal force and participial form without reducing it to a finite verb. |
