to turn
| Morphological Notes | Qal infinitive construct of פָּנָה with prefixed לְ indicating purpose, result, or direction ("to turn"). No gender, number, or person marking in this form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form לִפְנוֹת is a Qal infinitive construct with the prefixed לְ, meaning "to turn." Rendering it as "to turn" preserves the core idea of directional movement inherent in the root פנה and accurately reflects the infinitive verbal form without adding aspect or agency not present in the Qal stem. |
