SIBI-P1 H6113-10
to hold back
| Morphological Notes | Qal infinitive construct with prefixed preposition ל ("to"); expresses the simple active sense of the root without person, gender, or number marking. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root עצר carries the core idea of enclosing or restraining. In the Qal infinitive construct with prefixed ל ("to"), the form לַעְצֹר expresses the basic active sense of the verb, thus "to hold back," preserving both the root meaning of restraint and the infinitive function indicated by the morphology. |
