SIBI-P1 Translation H1696-38
to declare
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel stem (intensive/active), infinitive construct with prefixed ל indicating purpose or result. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem intensifies or gives deliberative force to the root דבר, emphasizing purposeful, articulated speech. The infinitive construct with ל marks this as "to declare," preserving both the verbal action and its formal, communicative weight. |
