SIBI-P1 Translation H4229-25
he will be wiped out
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Niphal (passive/reflexive) stem; imperfect; 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal stem conveys a passive sense, so the subject receives the action of wiping/obliterating. The imperfect 3rd masculine singular form is reflected in "he will be wiped out," preserving both passive voice and singular masculine morphology. |
