ascending
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, infinitive absolute; expresses the verbal action abstractly and may intensify or emphasize the action in context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal infinitive absolute expresses the verbal action in its pure form, conveying the act of going up or rising. "Ascending" preserves the root’s core sense of upward movement without adding contextual nuance. |
