SIBI-P1 Translation H3179-06
he will become hot
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular form expresses a simple, incomplete action: "he will become hot" or "he becomes hot." This preserves the root sense of physical heat, which in usage can extend to sexual heat and procreative arousal. |
