SIBI-P1 Translation H4803-08

he will be stripped bare

Morphological NotesVerb, Niphal stem (passive/reflexive), imperfect, 3rd person masculine singular.
Rendering RationaleThe 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.
