SIBI-P1 H1288-88

and they shall be blessed

Morphological NotesConjunction וְ ("and") prefixed to Niphal imperfect (or converted perfect) 3rd common plural of ברך; passive/reflexive voice; plural subject indicated by -וּ ending.
Rendering RationaleThe root ברך (b-r-k) carries the idea of kneeling and, by extension, invoking or bestowing blessing. The Niphal stem (VNp/VNq) expresses a passive or reflexive sense, and the 3rd common plural form requires "they shall be blessed," preserving both the passive nuance and the plural subject.
