and the sowing-one
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine singular absolute, with prefixed conjunction ו |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle masculine singular denotes "the one who sows," reflecting the simple active sense of the root זרע. The prefixed conjunction ו is rendered as "and," and the participial form is preserved as a verbal adjective. |
