SIBI-P1 G337-04

to be taken-up / taken-away

Morphological NotesVerb; aorist tense (simple/completed aspect), passive voice, infinitive mood. The passive indicates the subject receives the action (is taken away), and the infinitive expresses purpose or result ("to be taken-up").
Rendering RationaleThe verb ἀναιρέω combines ἀνά (up) with αἱρέω (to take), literally meaning "to take up," and by extension "to take away" or "remove," often violently. The form is aorist passive infinitive, so "to be taken-up / taken-away" preserves the passive voice and infinitival force while reflecting the root sense of removal that can imply execution.
