and confesses
To acknowledge, praise, or give thanks, especially with an outward gesture such as the extension of the hands. In various contexts, it can mean to express gratitude or praise (often directed toward a deity), confess or admit (especially sin or wrongdoing), or—less commonly—to throw or cast (as with stones or arrows, usually in an archaic or poetic sense).

SIBI-P1 Translation H3034-19
one who acknowledges
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil stem, active participle, masculine singular, absolute; prefixed conjunction וּ ("and") attached to the participle form מוֹדֶה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil active participle masculine singular denotes an ongoing or characteristic action: "one who causes acknowledgment"—that is, one who openly acknowledges, gives thanks, or confesses. "Acknowledges" preserves the core gesture-derived meaning of extending the hand in public declaration. |

and one who acknowledges
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'one who acknowledges' does not reflect the conjunctive vav (ו). The correct rendering is 'and one who acknowledges' to account for conjunction in the Hebrew. |
