SIBI-P1 H2398-44

and he purified-from-sin

Morphological NotesVerb in the Piel stem, wayyiqtol (waw-consecutive imperfect), third person masculine singular (HC/Vpw3ms). The Piel gives an intensive or factitive nuance: to cleanse or de-sin.
Rendering RationaleThe Piel stem of חטא often carries an intensive or factitive sense, meaning to remove sin or purify from sin rather than simply to sin. Rendering it as "purified-from-sin" preserves the root connection to sin/missing while reflecting the Piel action of dealing with that sin. The form is third person masculine singular with waw-consecutive, hence "and he purified-from-sin."
