SIBI-P1 Translation H2672-12
to hew
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, infinitive construct with prefixed ל indicating purpose or action ("to hew"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal infinitive construct with prefixed ל expresses the simple verbal action in its basic stem: "to hew." This preserves the root idea of cutting or shaping hard material by forceful striking or carving. |
