SIBI-P1 H5324-13

one stationed

Morphological NotesNifal participle, masculine singular absolute, from נָצַב. The Nifal stem often expresses passive or reflexive action—"to be stationed" or "to take one’s stand." Used substantivally, it denotes a single male figure in a standing or stationed state.
Rendering RationaleThe form is a Nifal participle masculine singular, conveying a passive or reflexive sense of the root "to station, to set up." "One stationed" preserves the core idea of being set or placed in position and reflects the singular masculine participial form.
