SIBI-P1 H3789-11
as the written (record)
| Morphological Notes | Preposition כ (“as/according to”) prefixed to Qal passive participle masculine singular absolute of כתב (“written”). Functions substantivally: “the written (thing).” |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Qal passive participle masculine singular with the prefixed preposition כ (“as/according to”), literally meaning “as the written (one/thing).” Rendering it “as the written (record)” preserves the passive sense (“that which has been written”) and reflects the masculine singular participle implied in כָּתוּב. |
