SIBI-P1 H3212-103
they will walk
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd person masculine plural from הלך. The Qal stem expresses simple active movement; the imperfect form typically denotes future, habitual, or modal action depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is Qal imperfect 3rd masculine plural, indicating a simple active action performed by “they” (masculine plural). Rendering it as “they will walk” preserves the core root idea of physical or figurative movement (הלך) and reflects the imperfect aspect, which commonly conveys future or ongoing action. |
