SIBI-P1 H7901-24
one lying down
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine singular, absolute form from שָׁכַב. Functions adjectivally or substantivally to denote a male who is lying down or in a state of lying. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Qal active participle masculine singular absolute, describing a male subject characterized by the action of the root. "One lying down" preserves the participial sense (ongoing or characteristic action) and maintains the masculine singular implied by the morphology while retaining the core idea of reclining or lying from שׁכב. |
