SIBI-P1 H6942-77

he shall be set-apart

Morphological NotesHebrew verb, Qal imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine singular from קדש. The Qal stem here is stative/inchoative, indicating that the subject enters or exists in a state of holiness.
Rendering RationaleThe Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular form expresses a future or modal sense, "he shall/will be." In the Qal stem, קדש conveys becoming or being holy in a stative or inchoative sense; "be set-apart" preserves the root idea of holiness as separation while accurately reflecting the 3ms verbal form.
