SIBI-P1 Translation H1809-07
he will grow weak
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem conveys the simple intransitive action of becoming diminished or low. The imperfect 3ms form is rendered as "he will grow weak," preserving both the future/incomplete aspect and the root sense of decline or reduction in strength or status. |
