SIBI-P1 Translation H5831-02
to Ezra
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ (“to/for”) + masculine singular proper name עֶזְרָא (Ezra), Hebrew/Aramaic form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the prefixed preposition לְ (“to/for”) attached to the proper name עֶזְרָא (Ezra). Although derived from the root meaning “help,” in biblical usage it functions strictly as a personal name, so the rendering preserves both the preposition and the fixed proper noun. |
