SIBI-P1 H6912-44

they shall be interred

Morphological NotesVerb, Niphal stem (passive/reflexive), imperfect (yiqtol) aspect, 3rd person masculine plural. The Niphal conveys passive voice here: "to be buried."
Rendering RationaleThe verb is Niphal imperfect 3rd masculine plural, expressing a passive action in future or incomplete aspect. "They shall be interred" preserves the passive sense of the Niphal stem and reflects the masculine plural subject inherent in the form, while retaining the core idea of burial from the root קבר.
