SIBI-P1 Translation H559-48
you will say
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal (simple active), imperfect, 2nd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem preserves the simple active sense "to say/speak." The imperfect 2nd person masculine singular is rendered "you will say," reflecting the incomplete or forthcoming verbal action addressed to a masculine singular subject. |
