SIBI-P1 H7919-15
one causing insight (masculine singular)
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil active participle, masculine singular absolute (HVhrmsa). Though occasionally parsed as a masculine singular noun, it derives from the causative stem of שכל and functions substantivally as “one who gives insight” or as a technical title. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form מַשְׂכִּיל is a Hiphil masculine singular participle from שכל, which in the Hiphil stem carries a causative sense (“to cause to be prudent, to give insight”). Rendering it “one causing insight” preserves the causative force of the stem and reflects the masculine singular participial form. |
