SIBI-P1 H5647-34
serving man
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine singular (absolute or construct in various occurrences). Functions substantivally to denote one who serves or works; occasionally appears as a proper name (Obed). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form עֹבֵד is a Qal active participle masculine singular from עבד, denoting one who is actively working or serving. "Serving man" preserves the participial sense (ongoing action) and reflects the masculine singular morphology while keeping the core idea of labor or service inherent in the root. |
