SIBI-P1 Translation H1806-02
to Yah-has-drawn-up
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ ('to') + proper masculine personal name דְּלָיָהוּ (Delayahu), theophoric compound from דלה + יהו. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name דְּלָיָהוּ combines the root דלה (to draw up, lift out) with the theophoric element יָהוּ (Yah), forming the declaration 'Yah has drawn up/delivered.' The prefixed לְ indicates 'to' before the proper name, which is preserved in the rendering. |
