SIBI-P1 H3372-20
you shall revere
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect (yiqtol) 2nd masculine singular from ירא. The form can function as indicative ("you will fear") or jussive in prohibitions and commands ("you shall fear"), depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form תִּירָא is Qal imperfect 2nd masculine singular, expressing "you (ms) will/shall fear." Rendering it as "you shall revere" preserves the core sense of awe-filled fear inherent in ירא while reflecting the singular masculine addressee and the simple (Qal) verbal stem. |
