to the one who causes understanding
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil active participle, masculine singular absolute, with prefixed ל preposition and assimilated definite article ("to the"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem makes the verb causative, meaning "to cause to understand" or "to give discernment." As a masculine singular active participle with prefixed ל, it denotes "to the one who causes understanding," preserving both the causative force and participial form. |
