SIBI-P1 Translation G3908-10
they may set before
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (ongoing aspect), active voice, subjunctive mood, third person plural — 'they may be setting/they may set.' |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the present active subjunctive third person plural, expressing ongoing or potential action: 'they may set.' 'Set before' preserves the core spatial sense of placing something beside or in front of another, from which extended meanings like entrusting derive. |
