SIBI-P1 H6884-20
and I will smelt-refine them
| Morphological Notes | Qal waw-consecutive (Vqq) 1cs from צרף with 3mp pronominal suffix; active simple stem expressing the speaker’s direct action upon "them." |
| Rendering Rationale | The root צרף denotes the smelting and refining of metal, often figuratively extended to purifying or testing people. The form is Qal with waw-consecutive 1st common singular plus a 3rd masculine plural suffix, hence "and I will" with the direct object "them." The rendering preserves the metallurgical imagery inherent in the root while reflecting the first-person singular action upon a masculine plural object. |
