SIBI-P1 Translation H5414-169
he will give
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple active sense of the root נתן, "to give/place." The imperfect 3rd masculine singular form indicates an incomplete or future action by a masculine singular subject, hence "he will give." |
