SIBI-P1 Translation H559-93
he will say
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem preserves the simple active sense "to say/speak." The imperfect 3rd person masculine singular form indicates incomplete or future action, thus "he will say." |
