SIBI-P1 Translation H5110-01
to move to and fro
| Morphological Notes | Qal infinitive construct with prefixed ל indicating purpose or direction; active simple stem. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal infinitive construct expresses the simple verbal action of the root. "To move to and fro" preserves the core physical sense of swaying or wavering from which the extended meanings (wandering, mourning, displacement) develop. |
