and I will cut off
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative), sequential perfect (wayyiqtol), 1st person common singular with prefixed conjunction ו. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys causative action, and with first person common singular it expresses "I will cause to be cut off." The prefixed ו functions sequentially, yielding "and I will cut off," preserving both the root sense of cutting and the morphology. |
