SIBI-P1 Translation H5117-33
he will rest
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple intransitive action of coming to rest or settling. The imperfect 3rd masculine singular form indicates an incomplete or future-oriented action, hence "he will rest." |
