she will hasten swiftly

Morphological NotesVerb, Piel imperfect, 3rd person feminine singular. The Piel stem gives an intensive or factitive nuance to the root idea of quick movement.
Rendering RationaleThe verb is from מהר, whose core idea is flowing or moving quickly, hence acting with haste. The Piel stem intensifies the action, conveying deliberate or emphatic hastening. The imperfect 3rd feminine singular form requires the rendering "she will," preserving both gender and number.
