SIBI-P1 H3372-40
and fear-inspiring (feminine plural) things
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + Niphal participle feminine plural absolute from ירא. The Niphal stem gives a passive/reflexive sense ("being feared"), functioning substantivally here. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Niphal participle feminine plural, conveying a passive or stative sense: "being feared" or "that which inspires fear." Rendering it as "fear-inspiring" preserves the root ירא (to fear, revere) while reflecting the feminine plural morphology and the conjunction "and" (וְ). |
