SIBI-P1 H7181-11
he who attentively heeds
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil active participle, masculine singular absolute. The Hiphil stem often carries a causative or deliberate nuance; here it expresses intentional, sustained attentiveness. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root קשב conveys the image of pricking up the ears in focused attention. The Hiphil masculine singular active participle denotes an ongoing or characteristic action performed by a single male subject, hence "he who attentively heeds," preserving both the causative nuance of intentional attentiveness and the masculine singular form. |
