SIBI-P1 H8104-55
you guard
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect (yiqtol), 2nd person masculine singular of שׁמר (HVqi2ms). The imperfect commonly expresses incomplete, habitual, or future action: "you will guard" or "you keep guarding." |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb derives from שׁמר, whose core image is hedging about or guarding. "You guard" preserves this concrete sense of protective attentiveness. The form is Qal imperfect, second masculine singular, which is accurately reflected by the English second person singular "you" addressed to a male subject. |
