to be
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Peal stem, imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd person masculine singular with prefixed ל (preposition of purpose/direction). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Peal (simple) imperfect 3ms of הוה denotes "he will be/become." The prefixed ל marks purpose or direction, yielding an infinitival sense in English, hence "to be," preserving the root’s existential meaning. |
