SIBI-P1 H1961-59

you-all-females shall come-to-be-your-masc

Rootהיה (h-y-h)
Core Meaningsexistence, becoming, occurrence, happening, being
Semantic Rangeto exist or become (Qal basic); to cause to be or happen (Hiphil causative); future occurrence, transformation, divine presence or fulfillment in context
Conceptual SignificanceAs the root of God's name YHWH (from 'I AM' / אֶהְיֶה in Exodus 3:14), it underscores eternal divine existence and faithfulness in becoming present for Israel; in prophetic texts, emphasizes eschatological transformation and covenant realization for the scattered people.
Morphological NotesHiphil (causative) prefix ה-, vocalization for Qal imperfect יִהְיוּ (yiḥyū) adjusted to 3fp תִּהְיֶ֖יןָ (tiḥyeynā), with 2ms suffix -ךָ (-ā) causing vowel shift; occurs 11 times.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering 'you-all-females shall come-to-be-your-masc' preserves the root הוה/היה's core sense of dynamic 'becoming' or 'coming to be' rather than static 'be', while 'shall' reflects the future/imperfective Qal meaning; it explicitly marks the 3fp subject ('you-all-females') from HVqi3fp morphology and the 2ms pronominal suffix ('your-masc') indicated by the -nā ending, ensuring grammatical fidelity in English where forms are neutral.
