SIBI-P1 Translation H5046-09

the one making known

Morphological NotesHiphil active participle, masculine singular absolute, with definite article.
Rendering RationaleThe Hiphil stem conveys a causative sense, "to cause to be set before" someone, hence "to make known" or "declare." As a masculine singular active participle with the definite article, it is best rendered as "the one making known," preserving both the verbal-adjectival force and the definiteness.
