SIBI-P1 Translation H4422-43
he rescues
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel stem (intensive/causative), imperfect, 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem gives a causative/intensive force to the root idea of slipping away, thus "causing to escape" or "rescuing." The imperfect 3rd masculine singular form is rendered "he rescues," preserving both the causative nuance and the masculine singular subject. |
