SIBI-P1 Translation H2421-85
he will live
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple, active sense of the root חיה, meaning "to live" or "be alive." The imperfect 3rd masculine singular form conveys incomplete or future action, hence "he will live." |
