SIBI-P1 G142-15
he/she/it may lift up or take away
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist active subjunctive; 3rd person singular (Gr,V,SAA3,,S,). The aorist conveys a complete/simple action; active voice indicates the subject performs the action; subjunctive mood expresses possibility, purpose, or contingency. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb αἴρω fundamentally means "to lift" or "to take up," and by extension "to remove" or "take away." The form ἄρῃ is aorist active subjunctive, third person singular, which expresses a simple, undefined action in potential or purpose (“may lift/take away”). The rendering preserves the core idea of lifting/removing while reflecting the third-person singular and subjunctive mood. |
