that devises
To cut, inscribe, or engrave (on stone, wood, or metal); to plow, to incise or form furrows in soil; (by extension) to fabricate or craft, particularly as an artisan or smith. In figurative use: to devise, plot, or plan (usually with negative connotations); to be silent or keep silent, especially in a deliberate or calculated manner; to be deaf (rare, possibly as a secondary development from 'not hearing' in the sense of silence). The semantic range covers both physical acts of craftsmanship and cultivation, as well as actions of secret planning, contrivance, or silence.

SIBI-P1 Translation H2790-05
the cutting-one
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine singular, construct state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle masculine singular denotes "one who cuts/engraves/plows" in an active, ongoing sense. "The cutting-one" preserves the core physical image of incising or carving from which the extended meanings (crafting, devising, keeping silent) develop. |
