you will acquire

Rootקנה (q-n-h)
Core Meaningsto acquire, to obtain, to possess, to create, to establish
Semantic Rangeto buy, purchase, obtain, acquire, possess, create, bring into being, secure, recover, redeem
Conceptual Significanceקנה is used both for commercial acquisition and for divine creative activity, portraying possession as something established or brought into being. When applied to YHWH, it can describe Him as Creator or Possessor, emphasizing covenantal ownership and sovereign establishment.
Morphological NotesVerb, Qal imperfect, 2nd person masculine singular (HVqi2ms). The imperfect denotes incomplete or future action in context.
Rendering RationaleThe Qal stem expresses the simple active sense of the root קנה, "to acquire" or "to obtain." The imperfect 2nd masculine singular form indicates an action performed by a single male addressee, hence "you will acquire," preserving both the root sense of gaining/possessing and the grammatical person and number.
