SIBI-P1 Translation H3988-09
utter rejection
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, infinitive absolute; expresses the verbal idea in an abstract, often emphatic form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal infinitive absolute expresses the core verbal idea in its pure, intensified form. Rendering it as "utter rejection" preserves the root sense of willful spurning while reflecting the emphatic force often conveyed by the infinitive absolute. |
