SIBI-P1 H7043-48
he will make light of
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel stem (intensive/causative nuance), imperfect aspect, 3rd masculine singular (HVpi3ms). The Piel form often carries the sense of declaring or treating something as light, hence "to curse" in many contexts. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem intensifies or causatively expresses the root idea of "lightness," yielding the sense of actively treating something as light, trivial, or contemptible. The imperfect 3rd masculine singular form is reflected by "he will," preserving both person and number while maintaining the root connection to "light." |
