and he will be

Rootהיה (h-y-h)
Core Meaningsexistence, being, becoming, occurrence, state of being
Semantic Rangeto exist, be, become, come to pass, happen, occur, take place, come about; denotes state of being, transformation into existence, or fulfillment of events
Conceptual SignificanceCentral to divine self-revelation (e.g., linked to YHVH as 'He Who Is/Will Be'); underscores God's sovereign control over existence and events; in prophetic texts, emphasizes fulfillment of promises and covenants through emphatic 'becoming' reality.
Morphological NotesWaw-consecutive (HC) + Qal perfect sequential (Vqq3ms) or participle (Vqp3ms); 3rd person masculine singular; emphatic future/sequential action in narrative contexts.
Rendering RationaleThis rendering preserves the core meaning of 'to be/exist/become' from the root היה while exactly reflecting the morphology: waw-consecutive + 3ms imperfect (qal or perfect sequential), indicating future or sequential 'he will be'; the conjunction 'and' captures the וְ prefix for narrative continuity.
