SIBI-P1 Translation H3045-04
Know him
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperative, 2nd person masculine singular + 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperative masculine singular calls for a direct command in the simple active sense of the root ידע. The 3rd masculine singular suffix "-him" preserves the explicit object, yielding a concise imperative that reflects relational or experiential knowledge. |
