you will be eaten up

Rootאכל (ʾ-k-l)
Core Meaningsto eat, consume, devour, burn up
Semantic Rangeto eat food; to consume or devour; to burn up; to destroy utterly; to consume metaphorically (e.g., by sword, famine, or fire)
Conceptual SignificanceOften used both literally and metaphorically, אכל conveys total consumption—whether by physical eating, fire, or divine judgment. In covenantal contexts, being "eaten up" can signify the severe consequences of disobedience, portraying judgment as an act of complete and inescapable consumption.
Morphological NotesVerb from אכל in the imperfect, 2nd person masculine plural, passive stem (Pual form), expressing future or modal passive action directed toward a masculine plural group.
Rendering RationaleThe root אכל fundamentally means "to eat" or "consume." In this form it is second person masculine plural imperfect in a passive stem, indicating that "you" (masculine plural) are the recipients of the action. "You will be eaten up" preserves the concrete imagery of being consumed while accurately reflecting the passive verbal force and plural addressees.
