He Will Choose
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine personal name formed from Qal yiqtol 3ms of בחר; functions as a singular male name. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name derives from the Qal yiqtol (imperfect) third masculine singular form of בחר, meaning "he will choose." Rendering it as "He Will Choose" preserves both the verbal sense of the root and the masculine singular morphology embedded in the proper name. |
