to tear apart
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew verb, Qal stem, infinitive absolute (HVqa). The infinitive absolute may function adverbially for emphasis ("surely tear apart"), as a verbal complement, or as an abstract verbal idea ("tearing apart"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form טָרֹף is a Qal infinitive absolute, expressing the simple active action of the root טרף. "To tear apart" preserves the core image of violent rending or preying inherent in the root, while accurately reflecting the verbal, non-finite (infinitive absolute) morphology. |
