SIBI-P1 Translation H6419-25
and he will intercede
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hithpael (reflexive), imperfect 3rd person masculine singular, with prefixed conjunction וְ (“and”). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hithpael stem conveys reflexive or engaged action from the root פלל, meaning to intervene or mediate. In this stem it commonly denotes placing oneself in intercession, hence "he will intercede," preserving both the reflexive nuance and the imperfect 3ms form with conjunction. |
