SIBI-P1 Translation H3637-01
in causing shame
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil infinitive construct with prefixed בְּ preposition; causative verbal stem. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem makes the verb causative, meaning "to cause to be shamed" or "to disgrace." As an infinitive construct with the prefixed preposition בְּ, it is rendered "in causing shame," preserving both the causative force and the non-finite verbal form. |
