Common Translation

Phraseshall cover you

SIBI-P1 Translation H3680-35

she will cover you over

Morphological NotesPiel imperfect, 3rd feminine singular + 2nd masculine singular pronominal suffix.
Rendering RationaleThe Piel imperfect 3rd feminine singular form conveys an intensive or deliberate action, hence "cover you over" to reflect strengthened covering. The 2nd masculine singular suffix is preserved as "you," and the feminine singular subject is reflected in "she will."
