SIBI-P1 H7854-02

to an opposer

Morphological NotesPreposition לְ ("to/for") prefixed to a masculine singular common noun in the absolute state (Ncmsa). No article; indefinite sense ("an opposer").
Rendering RationaleThe noun שָׂטָן derives from the root שׂטן, meaning to oppose or accuse. Rendered as "opposer," it preserves the active sense of one who stands in hostility or accusation. The prefixed לְ is reflected by "to," and the masculine singular absolute form is maintained by the singular English noun.
