SIBI-P1 Translation H3680-22
the one who covers
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, active participle, masculine singular, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle masculine singular denotes an ongoing or characteristic action, so "the one who covers" reflects a masculine singular agent performing the act of covering, preserving the root sense of concealment or overlaying. |
