interceding one
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hithpael stem (reflexive), active participle, masculine singular, absolute; prefixed conjunction וּ "and" in surface form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hithpael stem expresses reflexive or self-involving action, and the masculine singular active participle denotes "one who is interceding." "Interceding one" preserves the root idea of mediating intervention while reflecting the participial form. |
