the one interceding
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Hithpael stem (reflexive/intensive); active participle; masculine singular; absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hithpael stem conveys reflexive or engaged action, here expressing one who is actively placing himself in mediation or appeal. As a masculine singular participle, it is rendered as a verbal adjective: "the one interceding," preserving both the ongoing aspect and the root sense of intervention. |
