SIBI-P1 Translation H995-60
and discerning one
| Morphological Notes | Niphal participle, masculine singular absolute, with prefixed conjunction וְ; stative/reflexive sense. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal participle masculine singular denotes one who is in a state of discernment or understanding. Rendering it as "discerning one" preserves the stative-reflexive sense of the Niphal stem and the masculine singular participial form, with the prefixed conjunction "and" retained. |
