SIBI-P1 Translation H4291-04
his arriving
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine singular, construct state with 3rd person masculine singular suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle denotes an ongoing or characteristic act of arriving or reaching. The masculine singular construct form with a 3ms suffix yields a possessive sense, thus "his arriving," preserving both the verbal force and the pronominal attachment. |
