SIBI-P1 Translation H2686-01
the one who cuts
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, active participle, masculine singular, absolute. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle masculine singular denotes an ongoing or characteristic action, thus "the one who cuts," preserving the root sense of dividing or piercing. This reflects the simple active stem without intensification or causation. |
