SIBI-P1 H2505-36

he will apportion out

Morphological NotesVerb from חָלַק in the Piel (HVpi3ms) and Niphal (HVNi3ms) stems; imperfect, third masculine singular. Piel conveys active/intensive division or distribution; Niphal expresses passive or reflexive sense ("be divided, be apportioned").
Rendering RationaleIn the Piel imperfect 3ms (יְחַלֵּק), the verb expresses an active, intensive action: "he will apportion out" or "he will divide." This rendering preserves the core idea of dividing into portions (from the root sense of smooth separation) and accurately reflects the third masculine singular imperfect form; in Niphal occurrences (יֵחָלֵק), the sense becomes passive, "he will be apportioned."
