SIBI-P1 Translation H398-94
let me devour them
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel stem (intensive), cohortative, 1st person common singular with 3rd person masculine plural suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem intensifies the action of the root אכל, conveying forceful or complete consumption, hence "devour." The 1st person singular cohortative expresses volition ("let me"), and the 3rd masculine plural suffix is rendered as "them." |
