SIBI-P1 H5162-14
the one comforting you (masc. plural)
| Morphological Notes | Piel participle masculine singular construct (מְנַחֵם) with 2mp pronominal suffix (כֶם), yielding "the one comforting you (mp)." The Piel stem often expresses intensive or active consolation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a masculine singular participle in the Piel stem with a 2nd person masculine plural suffix. The participle conveys ongoing action—"the one comforting"—while the suffix specifies that the comfort is directed toward "you" (masculine plural). This preserves both the intensive/active nuance of Piel and the grammatical details of the form. |
