SIBI-P1 H974-15
and a tester
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ + Qal active participle masculine singular absolute of בחן. The participle functions substantivally, describing "one who tests" or "an examiner." |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Qal active participle masculine singular with a prefixed conjunction, literally "and one who tests/examines." Rendering it as "and a tester" preserves the active, ongoing sense of the participle and reflects the masculine singular morphology while maintaining the root idea of careful examination or assaying. |
