Common Translation
| Phrase | who steals |
SIBI-P1 Translation H1589-14
the one who steals
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine singular absolute with definite article (הַ). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle masculine singular with the definite article denotes an ongoing or characteristic action, rendered as a verbal adjective: "the one who steals." This preserves the root sense of furtive taking while reflecting the participial form rather than a simple noun. |
