SIBI-P1 H3885-11
we will lodge for the night
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 1st person common plural. The Qal conveys the simple act of lodging or remaining; the imperfect denotes incomplete or future action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 1st common plural (HVqi1cp) expresses a simple future or incomplete action: "we will." The rendering "lodge for the night" preserves the root sense of remaining or staying overnight inherent in לון, while accurately reflecting the first person plural verbal form. |
