SIBI-P1 H398-70
that he may consume
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine singular of אָכַל with prefixed relative particle שֶׁ ("that"). The imperfect can express future, modal, or purpose nuance in subordinate clauses. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular, expressing a simple active action by "he." "Consume" preserves the root sense of eating while allowing for both literal and figurative meanings (e.g., devouring, burning up). The prefixed שֶׁ marks it as a subordinate clause, hence "that he may." |
