SIBI-P1 Translation H5647-42
you will serve
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect conjugation, 2nd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 2nd masculine singular form denotes a simple, active action performed by "you" (masculine singular). "You will serve" preserves the core root sense of rendering labor or service and reflects the imperfect aspect as incomplete or future action. |
