SIBI-P1 Translation H1197-27

and let us burn up

Morphological NotesVerb, Piel stem (intensive), cohortative, 1st person common plural, with prefixed conjunction ו
Rendering RationaleThe root בער denotes burning or consuming by fire. The Piel stem intensifies the action (burn up, consume thoroughly), and the 1st person plural cohortative expresses a volitional "let us" sense, preserved here along with the prefixed conjunction.
