SIBI-P1 Translation H3462-14
he sleeps
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple action of the root, and the imperfect 3rd masculine singular form denotes an incomplete or ongoing action: "he sleeps" or "he will sleep." The rendering preserves the core sense of physical sleep from the root ישן without importing contextual nuance. |
