SIBI-P1 Translation H3427-135
may he dwell
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, jussive conjugation, 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple action of sitting or dwelling, and the 3rd masculine singular jussive conveys a volitive sense, hence "may he dwell." The rendering preserves the root idea of settled presence while reflecting the jussive mood. |
