SIBI-P1 Translation H1589-12
to be stolen
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Pual stem (passive-intensive); infinitive absolute. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Pual stem is the passive-intensive of the root גנב, indicating the action of being stolen or taken by stealth. The infinitive absolute preserves the verbal idea in its abstract, so "to be stolen" reflects both the passive stem and the root’s core meaning of stealthy taking. |
