SIBI-P1 H1616-08
like the resident-alien
| Morphological Notes | Preposition כַ־ ("like/as") prefixed to a masculine singular absolute noun גֵּר; the definite sense is implied in context though formally absolute. No pronominal suffix; singular masculine noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun גֵּר (masculine singular absolute) derives from the root גור, "to sojourn" or "reside temporarily." The prefixed כַ־ means "like" or "as," yielding "like the resident-alien." "Resident-alien" preserves the root sense of one who dwells temporarily among a people not his own, while reflecting the masculine singular form. |
