SIBI-P1 Translation H6485-26
to be attended to
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Niphal stem, infinitive construct with prefixed לְ indicating purpose or result; passive/reflexive nuance. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal stem gives a passive or reflexive sense of the root פקד, expressing being the object of oversight, reckoning, visitation, or appointment. "To be attended to" preserves the core idea of active engagement or accounting while reflecting the passive morphology of the Niphal infinitive construct. |
