SIBI-P1 H1540-57
you shall lay bare
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew verb, Piel stem (intensive/active), imperfect (yiqtol), 2nd person masculine singular (HVpi2ms). The Piel often denotes deliberate or forceful exposure, especially in contexts of uncovering nakedness or revealing what is hidden. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem intensifies the root idea of גלה, conveying active and deliberate exposure or laying bare rather than mere passive uncovering. The form is 2nd masculine singular imperfect, reflected in "you shall," preserving the direct address to a single male subject. |
