SIBI-P1 H3341-03
you (f.s.) set ablaze / one who kindles (m.s.)
| Morphological Notes | Qal perfect 2nd feminine singular (HVqp2fs): completed action performed by a feminine singular subject. Hiphil participle masculine singular absolute (HVhrmsa): causative stem, denoting an active agent who causes burning. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root יצת carries the core idea of kindling or setting something on fire. In the Qal perfect 2nd feminine singular form, it denotes “you (feminine singular) set ablaze,” preserving both the verbal action and the gendered subject. In the Hiphil participle masculine singular, it expresses a causative nuance, “one who kindles,” reflecting the stem’s causative force and the masculine singular form. |
