SIBI-P1 Translation H4803-08
he will be stripped bare
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Niphal stem (passive/reflexive), imperfect, 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal stem marks a passive or reflexive action, so the subject receives the stripping. The imperfect 3ms form indicates a future or incomplete action: "he will be stripped bare," preserving the root sense of removal leading to exposure. |
