SIBI-P1 H1934-11
they shall come-to-be
| Root | הוה (h-w-h) |
| Core Meanings | to be, to become, to exist, to come to pass |
| Semantic Range | to be, to exist, to become, to happen, to come to pass, to function as a copula, to serve as an auxiliary verb |
| Conceptual Significance | In Biblical Aramaic (Daniel and Ezra), this verb underlies statements of existence, identity, and unfolding events, often marking divine sovereignty over what "comes to be" in history. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic verb, Qal (simple active) imperfect, 3rd person masculine plural; prefixed ל functions conjunctively in context. Denotes future or modal action: "they will/shall be." |
| Rendering Rationale | The Aramaic root הוה expresses existence and becoming. Rendering it as "they shall come-to-be" preserves the dynamic sense of becoming inherent in the root while accurately reflecting the Qal imperfect 3rd masculine plural form ("they shall/will"). |
