and she will become

Morphological NotesHC/Vqq3fs: וְ (waw-consecutive 'and'), הָיְתָה (qal perfect 3fs of הָיָה); the vav-consecutive shifts the semantically perfect form to future indicative.
Rendering RationaleThis rendering preserves the core meaning of the root היה ('to be, become, exist') by using 'become' to emphasize transformation or occurrence rather than mere copula, while 'she' directly reflects the 3fs morphology and 'will' captures the future sense of the vav-consecutive qal perfect. The conjunction 'and' translates the initial וְ prefix. It maintains grammatical gender (feminine singular), tense (future), and stem (qal, simple active).
