SIBI-P1 H3722-17
and you (masculine singular) make atoning-covering
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + Piel imperative, 2nd person masculine singular, from כָּפַר. The Piel stem gives an intensive/factitive sense: to effect atonement or expiation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root כפר fundamentally denotes covering over, which in ritual contexts conveys the removal or wiping away of offense through atoning action. The Piel stem intensifies or factitively expresses the act—"to effect atonement"—and the 2ms imperative form requires the rendering "you (masculine singular)," with the prefixed conjunction וְ conveyed as "and." |
