SIBI-P1 Translation H2470-40
they earnestly entreat
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel stem (intensive/causative), imperfect conjugation, 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem carries an intensive or causative nuance from the root idea of weakness or affliction, extending to earnest pleading born of frailty or distress. The 3rd person masculine plural imperfect is rendered as "they earnestly entreat," preserving both the intensive force and the plural subject. |
