SIBI-P1 Translation H8335-01
the ministering service
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular absolute with definite article (הַ); infinitive noun form from the root שרת. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שָׁרֵת denotes the act or state of serving, especially in formal or cultic contexts. The masculine singular absolute form with the definite article is reflected by "the," and the rendering preserves the root sense of active ministering rather than a generic term like "ministry." |
