SIBI-P1 H5254-05
to put to the test
| Morphological Notes | Verb from root נסה in the Piel stem; infinitive construct with prefixed לְ preposition (“to/for”). The doubling (dagesh) in ס marks the Piel stem. No gender, number, or person marking due to infinitive form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form לְנַסּוֹת is a Piel infinitive construct with prefixed לְ, indicating purpose or result (“to/for”). The Piel stem intensifies or factitively expresses the root idea of testing, so “to put to the test” preserves both the root sense of proving and the stem’s active, deliberate nuance. |
