he will be still
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple state of becoming or being silent/still. The imperfect 3ms form indicates a future or incomplete action, rendered as "he will be still," preserving both the root sense of silence/cessation and the masculine singular morphology. |
