SIBI-P1 Translation H3789-62
they will be written
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Niphal stem (passive/reflexive), imperfect, 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal stem marks a passive or reflexive sense, and the imperfect 3rd masculine plural form indicates a future or incomplete action by a plural subject. "They will be written" preserves the passive force and reflects the root idea of setting something down in written form. |
