SIBI-P1 Translation H6478-02
and he stripped away the outer layer
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel (intensive), sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem conveys an intensive or deliberate action of peeling or stripping. The sequential imperfect with prefixed ו renders as a past narrative form, hence "and he," preserving both stem intensity and 3rd masculine singular morphology. |
