| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem preserves the simple active sense of visual or perceptual seeing. The imperfect 3rd person masculine plural form conveys an incomplete or future action, hence "they will see." |
