SIBI-P1 H5352-19
he will be cleared (of guilt)
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Niphal stem (passive/reflexive), imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine singular from נקה. The doubling of the middle consonant reflects Niphal formation. Often used with negation for emphatic denial ("he will certainly not be cleared"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal stem conveys a passive or reflexive sense of the root נקה, "to be clean or free." In the imperfect 3rd masculine singular, the form means "he will be cleared" or "he will be held guiltless," preserving both the passive nuance and the singular masculine subject indicated by the morphology. |
