SIBI-P1 Translation H1738-01
her being sick
| Morphological Notes | Qal infinitive construct of דוה with 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal infinitive construct expresses the verbal idea "to be sick/weak," and the 3rd feminine singular suffix adds "her," yielding "her being sick." This preserves the core root sense of physical illness or weakness without narrowing it to a specific context. |
