SIBI-P1 H7235-82
they will become many
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect, 3rd person masculine plural (HVqi3mp). The Qal stem conveys simple action; the imperfect form denotes future or ongoing/incomplete action. Subject is masculine plural: "they." |
| Rendering Rationale | The root רבה carries the core idea of increase and becoming numerous. In the Qal imperfect 3rd masculine plural, the form expresses a simple active/intransitive action in the future or incomplete aspect—"they will become many"—accurately reflecting both the root meaning and the masculine plural subject. |
