SIBI-P1 H2664-01
I will thoroughly search out
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel imperfect, 1st common singular (HVpi1cs). The Piel stem gives an intensive or deliberate force to the root action; the prefixed א marks first person singular imperfect. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem intensifies the root idea of searching, conveying a thorough or diligent probing. The imperfect 1st common singular form (אֲחַפֵּשׂ) is reflected by "I will," preserving the first-person singular subject while expressing the intensive nuance of the Piel stem as "thoroughly search out." |
