Common Translation
| Phrase | to conceal |
SIBI-P1 Translation H5641-06
to cause to conceal
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil infinitive absolute of סתר; causative verbal form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives the verb a causative force, shifting from "to hide" (Qal) to "to cause to hide" or "to conceal." As an infinitive absolute, it is rendered in a verbal form that preserves the action in its intensified or abstract sense without attaching it to a specific subject. |
