SIBI-P1 H3999-01
the deluge-flow
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun in the absolute state with prefixed definite article (הַ־); from the root יבל, likely a noun of result or instrument indicating that which flows or causes flowing. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מַבּוּל derives from the root יבל, conveying the idea of flowing or being carried along in a powerful stream. Rendering it as "the deluge-flow" preserves the imagery of overwhelming, surging waters while reflecting the definite article and masculine singular absolute form ("the" + singular noun). |
