| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, infinitive absolute; uninflected verbal form often used for emphasis or verbal abstraction. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal infinitive absolute preserves the root sense of residing temporarily as a non-native. Rendering it as "to sojourn" reflects the simple verbal action without adding contextual nuance or intensity. |
