SIBI-P1 Translation H1961-07
I will be
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 1st person common singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 1st person singular expresses incomplete or future action of the root היה, denoting personal existence or becoming. "I will be" preserves both the first-person singular morphology and the root’s core sense of ongoing or forthcoming being. |
