SIBI-P1 Translation H5526-03
the one causing to shelter
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil active participle, masculine singular, absolute; verbal adjective expressing ongoing causative action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys causative action, so the participle denotes one who causes covering or sheltering. Rendering it as "the one causing to shelter" preserves both the root sense of woven protective covering and the masculine singular active participle form. |
