SIBI-P1 H1639-06
you diminish
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect (yiqtol) 2nd person masculine singular; one occurrence reflects the standard imperfect (HVqi2ms) and the other the jussive form (HVqj2ms), which can express command, wish, or potential action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "you diminish" preserves the core root sense of scraping away or reducing something, reflecting the Qal stem’s simple active voice. The morphology (2ms imperfect/jussive) is represented by "you" (masculine singular) and an English verb form that can function as indicative or volitional depending on context. |
