SIBI-P1 Translation H1648-03
to Driven-Out One
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ ('to/for') + masculine singular proper noun גֵּרְשׁוֹן. |
| Rendering Rationale | The proper name גֵּרְשׁוֹן derives from the root גרש, meaning 'to drive out' or 'expel,' and likely denotes 'one who is driven out.' The prefixed לְ adds the prepositional sense 'to/for,' so the rendering preserves both the root meaning and the masculine singular proper name form. |
