SIBI-P1 Translation H914-26
he will set apart
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil (causative) imperfect, 3rd person masculine singular verb from ב־ד־ל. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys a causative action, so the subject causes separation or distinction. The imperfect 3ms form is rendered as "he will set apart," preserving both the causative force and masculine singular subject. |
