SIBI-P1 Translation H4838-03
she will scour clean
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil stem (causative), imperfect, 3rd person feminine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives a causative or factitive sense, indicating that she causes something to be thoroughly scrubbed or polished. "Scour clean" preserves the vigorous, friction-based action inherent in the root and reflects the 3rd feminine singular imperfect form ("she will"). |
