SIBI-P1 Translation H3498-25
and the remaining one
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + definite article ה + Niphal participle masculine singular absolute of יתר. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal participle masculine singular expresses one who is in the state of being left over or spared. Rendering it as "the remaining one" preserves the passive sense of something that has survived or been left behind, while the conjunction and article are reflected in "and the." |
