SIBI-P1 Translation H5234-31
he will act as a stranger
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hithpael stem (reflexive), imperfect, 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hithpael stem conveys reflexive action, indicating that he makes himself foreign or treats himself as unrecognized. "He will act as a stranger" preserves the root idea of foreignness and distinction while reflecting the imperfect 3ms form. |
