SIBI-P1 Translation H2388-88
and he will become strong
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect 3rd person masculine singular with prefixed conjunction וְ ("and"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple intransitive sense "to be or become strong." The imperfect 3rd masculine singular form, with prefixed conjunction וְ, yields "and he will become strong," preserving both the root sense of strengthening and the verbal morphology. |
