SIBI-P1 Translation H2388-51
you (masculine plural) become strong
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect conjugation, 2nd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple action "to be/become strong." As a 2nd person masculine plural imperfect, it denotes "you (mp) will/shall become strong," preserving both the root sense of strength and the plural masculine morphology. |
