SIBI-P1 Translation H7069-23
acquiring-one of
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, active participle, masculine singular, construct state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle masculine singular denotes "one who acquires." The construct state requires a following complement, so "of" preserves its bound relational form while retaining the root sense of acquisition. |
