giving
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, infinitive absolute; expresses the verbal action abstractly and may intensify or emphasize when paired with a finite verb. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form נָתוֹן is Qal infinitive absolute of נתן, expressing the verbal idea in its most direct, uninflected sense. "Giving" preserves the core root meaning without adding tense, person, or context-specific nuance. |
