SIBI-P1 H1254-13
the One creating
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine singular (absolute and construct forms attested). Functions substantivally to denote an agent characterized by the action of creating. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Qal active participle masculine singular (absolute/construct), denoting an ongoing or characteristic action: "one who creates." Rendering it as "the One creating" preserves the participial force and reflects the masculine singular morphology while retaining the root sense of bringing into being or shaping. |
