Looking at the context, it is clearly a verb, infinitive. This is not
a common verb (nor noun, for that matter) so that it could be found
only once in this particular form in Tanakh is not surprising.
However, it follows well attested to patterns.

Karl W. Randolph.

Are you altering the vowels to reach this conclusion? The current
vowels do not support an infinitive. They do support a noun with a
preposition. If you disagree please sight an example of an infinitive
with shwa qametz qametz. I would be interested to compare it.
Thanks
