SIBI-P1 H5647-93
he will serve
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine singular from עבד. The form expresses incomplete action, typically future or habitual, with a masculine singular subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem of עבד carries the basic sense of working or serving. The imperfect 3rd masculine singular form יַעֲבֹד is reflected by "he will serve," preserving both the active voice of Qal and the masculine singular subject indicated in the morphology. |
