SIBI-P1 H2930-03
Will he become unclean?
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular with prefixed interrogative הֲ; denotes simple action/state in the future or modal sense, here in a question. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular form expresses a simple future or modal action, "he will become unclean," framed here as a question by the interrogative prefix. "Become unclean" preserves the root idea of entering a state of ritual or moral contamination rather than actively defiling another (which would require a causative stem). |
