SIBI-P1 Translation H5068-05
to volunteer oneself freely
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Hithpael stem (reflexive); infinitive construct. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hithpael stem conveys reflexive action, indicating one who moves oneself willingly; the infinitive construct requires an English "to" form. This rendering preserves both the reflexive nuance ("oneself") and the root idea of voluntary, uncoerced action. |
