SIBI-P1 H3548-05

the officiating priest

Morphological NotesNoun common masculine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ). The form functions substantivally, historically related to an active participial sense (“one who officiates”).
Rendering RationaleThe noun כֹּהֵן derives from the verbal idea "to officiate" or "to serve in priestly capacity." Rendering it as "the officiating priest" preserves the active, functional sense of the root while reflecting the definite article ("the") and the masculine singular absolute form indicated by the morphology.
