SIBI-P1 H1961-98

and you-all shall come-to-be

Morphological NotesWaw-consecutive + Qal cohortative perfect, 2nd person masculine plural (viheyitem); variant 2cp in one morphology; prefixed וִ- 'and' with h- vocal shewa.
Rendering RationaleThis rendering preserves the core root meaning of 'h-y-h' as dynamic existence or becoming, avoiding bland copula translations like 'be' to emphasize its emphatic sense of occurrence or transformation. It reflects the morphology as 2nd person masculine plural cohortative perfect consecutive in Qal stem (HC/Vqq2mp), using 'you-all' for masculine plural address and 'shall come-to-be' to convey the volitive/future cohortative force with waw-conversive sequence.
