SIBI-P1 Translation H7725-68
to return
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, infinitive construct; simple active verbal form expressing the action in abstract or purpose sense. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal infinitive construct expresses the simple active verbal idea of the root שׁוב, denoting the action of turning back or returning. "To return" preserves the core directional and restorative sense without adding contextual nuance. |
