SIBI-P1 H974-06
tester
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine singular absolute from the root בחן; denotes an agent characterized by the act of testing or examining. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form בֹּחֵן is a Qal masculine singular active participle, meaning "one who tests" or "tester." Rendering it as "tester" preserves the active, ongoing sense of the participle and reflects the masculine singular form while retaining the root idea of examining or assaying. |
