SIBI-P1 Translation H8104-17
to guard you
| Morphological Notes | Qal infinitive construct with prefixed לְ and 2nd masculine singular pronominal suffix; verb root שמר. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal infinitive construct לִשְׁמָר with 2ms suffix -ךָ expresses purpose or action directed toward a masculine singular object. "To guard you" preserves the core sense of vigilant protection inherent in שׁמר and reflects the infinitive form with second masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
