SIBI-P1 H2603-23
you show favor
| Morphological Notes | Qal stem of חנן. Forms include Qal infinitive absolute (טָחוֹן) and Qal imperfect 2nd person masculine singular (תָּחֹן). The Qal expresses the simple act of showing favor or grace. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the root idea of bending in gracious kindness toward another. As a Qal imperfect 2ms (תָּחֹן), it is rendered in the second person masculine singular, "you show favor," while the related Qal infinitive absolute form (טָחוֹן) carries the sense "to show favor," intensifying or emphasizing the action. |
